The heterogeneous stuff was dropped from the series so this is no longer 
accurate.  However everything else in the series is good now.

I've applied this to my bleeding-edge branch at 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/superm1/linux.git/log/?h=bleeding-edge 
and will do some more testing on it.  I'll plan to send out a PR next 
week with it to catch 6.11.

Thanks!
