Thanks!

I assume that applies to everything even without the suggested
split_{pmd,pud} removal [1], for which I'll cook up a follow-up patch.

Will do.

FWIW I've just updated the branch [2] with said fixes and your
Reviewed-by. I won't send out a v3 just yet to give people time to
digest this version.

Ard, you'll find when rebasing that the compiler will scream at you due
to the p??_fixmap* function renaming. It's fairly mechanical, and if you
have vim handy you just need to run:

:%s /\(pgd\|pud\|pmd\|pte\)_fixmap_unmap/\1_clear_fixmap/g
:%s /\(pgd\|pud\|pmd\|pte\)_fixmap/\1_set_fixmap/g

Thanks,
Mark.
