Yeah, and by now, after all this discussion, I suspect it should be
committed with a comment too. Commit messages are good and all, but
unless chasing a particular bug they introduced, we shouldn't expect
people to read them for background information.
Now that we have the TLB things taken care of, and
comments to patches 10/31 and 26/31 have been addressed,
is there anything else that needs to be done before
these NUMA patches can be merged?

Anyone, this is a good time to speak up. We have some
time to address whatever concern you may have.

(besides waiting for the next merge window)
