If this isn't ready for upstreaming which is it being submitted as a patch
series and not an RFC or such?

Liam is likely to do some significant rework of this arch_unmap() stuff
soon, and is certainly significantly reworking the munmap() logic, so to
avoid conflicts it goes doubly that if this isn't meant for upstream then
it should be RFC'd.

This patch doesn't apply in the mm-unstable tree. If you want your series
to come in through the mm tree you need to rebase on this.

I made a major change to file structure which moves a bunch of mm/mmap.c
stuff to mm/vma.c (similarly moving things around in headers), which is
why.

It also means I can't sensibly review it... :)
