I don't think sending out a separate patch to address the same thing as
the patch you said you were testing [1] is the correct approach.  You
had already sent suggestions on mremap changes - why send this patch set
instead of making another suggestion?

Maybe send your selftest to be included with the initial patch set would
work?  Does this test pass with the other patch set?
