Sorry, this didn't work out: there's still too much stuff which hasn't
gone into mainline yet (slab, NFS, others). Merging the MM code now
would involve a worrying amount of last-minute code rework and would
cause the owners of those trees to have to do last-minute rework as
well. This is why I always go last.

I'll take another look on Monday.
