Patch looks fine to me but this is against a mmotm patch that is
included in mmotm. The commit ID is not going to last. This should be
sent to Andrew Morton with a note saying it's a fix to the mmotm patch
mm-convert-p_mknonnuma-and-remaining-page-table-manipulations.patch .
He'll then fold your fix into the original patch so that bisection works
correctly when merged to mainline. Do you mind doing that please?
