Let me know and I can help orchestate this.
Well.  Whatever works.  In this situation I'd stage the patches after
linux-next and would merge them up after the prereq patches have been
merged into mainline.  Easy.
All right, what the hell just happened? 
Christoph's patch series for the devmap & hmm rework finally made it
into linux-next
We're talking about "dev_pagemap related cleanups v4", yes?

I note that linux-next contains "mm: remove the HMM config option"
which was present in Christoph's v3 series but wasn't present in v4. 
Perhaps something has gone wrong here.
sorry, it took quite a few iterations on the list to
get all the reviews and tests, and figure out how to resolve some
other conflicting things. So it just made it this week.

Recall, this is the patch series I asked you about routing a few weeks
ago, as it really exceeded the small area that hmm.git was supposed to
cover. I think we are both caught off guard how big the conflict is!
I guess I was distracted - I should have taken a look to see how
mergable it all was.

It's a large patchset and it appears to be mainly (entirely?) code
cleanups.  I don't think such material would be appropriate for a late
-rc7 merge even if it didn't conflict with lots of other higher
priority pending functional changes and fixes!
