I'm eager to participate in this year's LSF/MM, but no topics of my
own to propose: I need to listen to what other people are suggesting.

Topics of most interest to me span mm and fs: persistent memory and
xip, transparent huge pagecache, large sectors, mm scalability.
I don't want to particularly pick on Hugh here; indeed, I know he won't
take it personally which is why I've chosen to respoond to Hugh's message
rather than any of the others.  I'm rather annoyed at the huge disrepancy
between the number of people who are *saying* they're interested in
persistent memory and the number of people who are reviewing patches
relating to persistent memory.

As far as I'm concerned, the only people who have "earned" their way into
attending the Summit based on contributing to persistent memory work
would be Dave Chinner (er ... on the ctte already), Ted Ts'o (ditto),
Jan Kara (ditto), Kirill Shutemov, Dave Hansen (who's not looking to
attend this year), Ross Zwisler (ditto), and Andreas Dilger.

I'd particularly like a VM person to review these two patches:
