Ouch, sorry, I did not understand this.  So we've lost 4 weeks testing :(

The core MM and ARM changes are trival, in the if-it-compiles-it-works
category.  Is the mm tree really the best place for this?  It'll get
more testing in the powerpc tree?

But if you're OK with it, I'm OK with it.

I guess we'll be hearing from Mark when this hits linux-next. 
Hopefully the resolution isn't horrible.

As I'm adding this to mm.git's mm-new branch, Mark won't actually be
seeing it.  I'll aim to move this into mm-unstable (and hence
linux-next) after just a single day.
