"RFC" always worries me.  I read it as "Really Flakey Code" ;) Is it
still appropriate to this patchset?

I grabbed them all.  Patches 1-3 look sane to me and I cheerfully
didn't read the s390 changes at all.  Hopefully Andrea will be able to
review at least patches 1-3 for us.

If that all goes well, how do we play this?  I'd prefer to merge 1-3
myself, as they do interact with ongoing MM development.  I can also
merge 4-7 if appropriate s390 maintainer acks are seen.  Or I can drop
them and the s390 parts can be merged via the s390 tree at a later
date?
