I have just created since-4.8 branch in mm git tree
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mhocko/mm.git;a=summary). It
is based on v4.8 tag in Linus tree and mmotm-2016-10-11-15-46.

As usual mmotm trees are tagged with signed tag
(finger print BB43 1E25 7FB8 660F F2F1 D22D 48E2 09A2 B310 E347)
