FWIW I was pondering the question of whether to do something along those 
lines or just scrap the default assignment entirely, so since I hadn't got 
round to saying that I've gone ahead and hacked up the alternative 
(similarly untested) for comparison :)

TBH I'm still not sure which one I prefer...

Claire did implement something like your suggestion originally, but
I don't really like it as it doesn't scale for adding multiple global
pools, e.g. for the 64-bit addressable one for the various encrypted
secure guest schemes.

Couple of things:
 - I am not pushing to Linus the Claire's patchset until we have a
   resolution on this. I hope you all agree that is a sensible way
   forward as much as I hate doing that.

Sure, it's a pity but we could clearly use a bit more time to get these
just right and we've run out of time for 5.14.

I think the main question I have is how would you like to see patches for
5.15? i.e. as patches on top of devel/for-linus-5.14 or something else?

Yes that would be perfect. If there are any dependencies on the rc1, I
can rebase it on top of that.

Cheers,

Will
