Subject: Re: [PATCH 13/41] mm: introduce vma->vm_flags modifier functions

How about moving this patch and the ones that follow out of this series,
into a preliminary patchset? It would reduce the amount of noise in the
per-vma lock changes, which would then only be adding the needed
vma_write_lock()ing.
