-Since v1 I fixed the hang in nios2, split the fork patch into two
-as Linus asked, and added hugetlb code for the "don't bother write
-protecting already writeprotected" patch.
+Here are some patches that didn't get much comment last time. It
+looks like x86 might benefit too though, so that might get people
+interested. 
 
-Please consider this for more cooking in -mm.
+I improved changelogs and added some comments, but no real logic
+changes.
+
+I hope I didn't get the x86 numbers wrong, they're more significant
+than I expected so it could quite well be a problem with my test
+(corrections welcome). Any data from other archs would be interesting
+too.
+
+Andrew perhaps if there aren't objections these could go in mm for
+a while. 
 
 Thanks,
 Nick
