I have a couple of thoughts here:

- If this patchset is merged and a major user such as google is
 unable to use it and has to continue to carry a separate patch then
 that's a regrettable situation for the upstream kernel.

- Google's is, afaik, the largest use case we know of: zillions of
 machines for a number of years.  And this real-world experience tells
 us that the badram patchset has shortcomings.  Shortcomings which we
 can expect other users to experience.

So.  What are your thoughts on these issues?
Has Google submitted patches for their implementation?
