Nick, in case you missed the plea here, we're asking if you have any
objection to shipping the mm changes present in Eric's patch in 2.6.28.
When your new pageable allocator becomes available, we'll switch over to
using that instead and revert Eric's mm changes.

We're ready to promise to support the user-land DRM interface going
forward, and we've got lots of additional work queued up behind this
merge. We'd prefer to push stuff a bit at a time rather than shipping a
lot of new code in a single kernel release.
