If we give up on CH's series the hmm.git will not have conflicts,
however we just kick the can to the next merge window where we will be
back to having to co-ordinate amd/nouveau/rdma git trees and -mm's
patch workflow - and I think we will be worse off as we will have
totally given up on a git based work flow for this. :(
I think the problem would be resolved going forward post-v5.3 since we
won't have two tress managing kernel/memremap.c. This cycle however
there is a backlog of kernel/memremap.c changes in -mm.
IHMO there is always something :( 

CH's series had something like 5 different collisions already, and I
think we did a good job of with everything but your subsection
patches.
