Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Finalising swap-over-NFS patches

Hi Andrew,
Two patches for current -mm branch.

First fixes an omission pointed out by Miaohe Lin.  Huge pages weren't
handled correctly.

Second changes NFS to use the new ->swap_rw

With this, swap over NFS largely works again.  I think there is a little
more work to do in NFS/SUNRPC code to make allocations on the swap out
path behave optimally.  Any such changes can go through the NFS tree.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
