Apologies for being a pest, but we're really keen to get this into 3.18,
as it fixes a THP problem with arm/arm64.

I need mm folk to either ack or flame the first patch in the series in
order to proceed. (All the patches in the series have been
acked/reviewed, but not by any mm folk.):
 [PATCH V3 1/6] mm: Introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast.

If it puts people's minds at rest regarding the testing...
On top of the ltp tests, and futex tests, we also ran these patches on
the arm64 Debian buildd's. With THP set to always, just under 8000
Debian packages have been built (and unit tested) without any kernel
issues for arm64.

Yes, please. It would be great if somebody can take these into an -mm tree
and/or provide an ack so that we can queue them via the arm64 tree instead.
