Thanks. What is the status ? Do they work fine ? Are they going to be
re-submitted for inclusion ?

Cheers,
Ben.

        Hi !
        
        The patchwork link unfortunately didn't survive the transition
        to
        patchwork 2.
        
        Do you know what's the status of Hugetlb support for 44x ? Is
        there any
        plan to release that for upstream inclusion ?
        
        Cheers,
        Ben.
