I would like to merge the new support that depends on this in 2.6.32,
so unless there's major objections, I'd like this to go in early during
the merge window. We can sort out separately how to carry the patch
around in -next until then since the powerpc tree will have a dependency
on it.

Can't see any problem with that.

CC'ing Linus here. How do you want to proceed with that merge ? (IE. so
far nobody objected to the patch itself)

IE. The patch affects all archs, though it's a trivial change every
time, but I'll have stuff in powerpc-next that depends on it, and so I'm
not sure what the right approach is here. Should I put it in the powerpc
tree ?

I also didn't have any formal Ack from anybody, neither mm folks nor
arch maintainers :-)

Yeah, if you think it helps, Acked-by: Nick Piggin [off-list ref] is
fine ;)

Unless anybody has other preferences, just send it straight to Linus in
the next merge window -- if any conflicts did come up anyway they would
be trivial. You could just check against linux-next before doing so, and
should see if it is going to cause problems for any arch pull...
