It is the final piece that makes that the case, so I think it's OK to allow
oneself a nice subject line? No? :)
Just took me longer to figure out if I am missing something important.

E.g.,

	"mm: remove unused RCU-unsafe user page table freeing"

would have been clearer to me. Anyhow, just stumbled over it, I don't care too much.
Compromise on:

mm: now userland pgtable freeing is safe, remove unused bits

?
Maybe something along those lines, yes

	mm: userland pgtable freeing is RCU-safe now, remove leftover bits
Ack OK.
