This patch makes the page_check_address() can validate if a subpage is
in its place in a huge page pointed by the address. This can be useful when
ksm does not split huge pages when looking up the subpages one by one.

Just a quick heads up...this patch does not compile by itself.  Could you
do a little patch cleanup?  Start with just making sure the Subject: is
correct for each patch.  Then make sure the 3 are part of same series.
And finally, make sure each is stand alone and complilable on its own.

Oh, indeed, there is a kvm & mmu_notifier related patch not named in a series.
But with a same email thread ID, I think

Right, in same thread, but it ends up with:

[PATCH 1/2] ksm: take dirty bit as reference to avoid volatile pages...
[PATCH] mmu_notifier, kvm: Introduce dirty bit...
[PATCH 2/2] ksm: take dirty bit as reference to avoid volatile pages...

Not a big deal, but also easy to fix up ;)

.... I had thought it's ok...
I'll reformat this patch set to fullfill these requirements. 

thanks,
-chris
