Nothing major changed since the last version. I would be happy about additional ACKs. If there are no further comments, can this go via the mm-tree in one chunk? I was recently going over all users of PG_reserved. Short story: it is difficult and sometimes not really clear if setting/checking for PG_reserved is only a relict from the past. Easy to break things. I guess I now have a pretty good idea wh things are like that nowadays and how they evolved.
Any reason you skipped drivers/gpu/drm/drm_pci.c:drm_pci_alloc() and drivers/gpu/drm/drm_scatter.c:drm_legacy_sg_alloc() which both look completely bogus as-is? In fact we should probably just try to kill them off as they have very few users left.
