What is the merge plan ? I see all powerpc commits are acked by Maddy, 
will the series be merged by Andrew into the mm tree ?

This is what I was expecting - this revision is rebased on mm-new as it stood
around when I sent it.

Ouch, sorry, I did not understand this.  So we've lost 4 weeks testing :(

The core MM and ARM changes are trival, in the if-it-compiles-it-works
category.  Is the mm tree really the best place for this?  It'll get
more testing in the powerpc tree?

But if you're OK with it, I'm OK with it.

By the way it doesn't apply on top of powerpc/merge branch:

I guess we'll be hearing from Mark when this hits linux-next. 
Hopefully the resolution isn't horrible.

As I'm adding this to mm.git's mm-new branch, Mark won't actually be
seeing it.  I'll aim to move this into mm-unstable (and hence
linux-next) after just a single day.
