Hi again folks,

Here is v8 of the asymmetric 32-bit support patches that I previously
posted here:

  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201027215118.27003-1-will@kernel.org
  v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201109213023.15092-1-will@kernel.org
  v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201113093720.21106-1-will@kernel.org
  v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201124155039.13804-1-will@kernel.org
  v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201208132835.6151-1-will@kernel.org
  v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210518094725.7701-1-will@kernel.org
  v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210525151432.16875-1-will@kernel.org

There was also a nice LWN writeup in case you've forgotten what this is
about:

	https://lwn.net/Articles/838339/

Changes since v7 include:

  * Dropped the scheduler migration fix, as Valentin has kindly fixed
    this separately in -tip:

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?h=sched/core&id=475ea6c60279e9f2ddf7e4cf2648cd8ae0608361

  * Dropped the freezer/ttwu changes, as Peter is rewriting that:

    https://lore.kernel.org/r/YLYZv4v68OnAlx+3@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net

  * Reworded documentation wrt KVM behaviour [maz]

  * Tidied up control flow in cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() [peterz]

  * Fixed interaction with migrate_disable() [peterz]

  * Don't ignore allocation failure in restrict_cpus_allowed_ptr() [peterz]

  * Reordered the patches to put arm64 prep work first

  * Added some more acks/reviewed-by tags

Cheers,

Will
