We probably need to split it apart:
- Apply the mm core only parts to a branch which can be pulled into
Andrews mm-tree
- Base the x86 changes on top of it
I'll happily take some of the preparatory patches for 4.11 too. Some
of them just don't seem to have any downside. The cpuid stuff, and the
basic scaffolding we could easily merge early. That includes the dummy
5level code, ie "5level-fixup.h" and even some of the mm side that
doesn't actually change anything and just prepares for the real code.
The first 7 patches are relatively low-risk. It would be nice to have them
in earlier.
I'm commited to address any possible drawbacks quickly if you considering
applying it into v4.11.
