Since these patches are now all that remains, it would be nice to
merge it all through Andrew's Linux-mm tree, which is already based
on top of linux-next.

Is it?

the -mm tree is structured as

<90% of stuff>
linux-next.patch
<the other 10% of stuff>

So things like Arnd's series which have a dependency on linux-next
material get added to the "other 10%" and are merged behind the
linux-next material and all is good.

If possible I'll queue things ahead of linux-next.patch.  Those few
things which have dependencies on linux-next material get sent to Linus
after the required linux-next material is merged into mainline.

The first five patches in my series should apply cleanly on mainline
kernels and make sense by themselves, the last patch is the one that
depends on this series as well as another series in the netdev tree,
so that has to go behind linux-next.

I suppose I could also merge the first five through my asm-generic tree
and send you the last one if you prefer, but then again two of the patches
are actually memory management stuff.
