To help out I picked up a couple of obvious ones:

 cee8868763f8 x86, mm: Prevent gcc to re-read the pagetables
 a860d4c7a1f4 mm: Check if PTE is already allocated during page fault
 e9fe72334fb0 numa, mm: Fix NUMA hinting page faults from gup/gup_fast

I kept Andrea as the author, the patches needed only minimal 
adaptation.

Plus I finally completed testing and applying Peter's 
constant-rate WSS patch:

 3d049f8a5398 sched, numa, mm: Implement constant, per task Working Set Sampling (WSS) rate

This is in part similar to AutoNUMA's hinting page fault rate 
limiting feature (pages_to_scan et al), and in part an 
improvement/extension of it. See the patch below for details.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

	Ingo
