FWIW, here's mine.. compiles and boots on a NUMA x86_64 machine.

Subject: mm: Avoid slow path for unlock_page()
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2016 10:08:52 +0200

Currently we uncontidionally look up the page waitqueue and issue the
wakeup for unlock_page(), even though there might not be anybody
waiting.

Use another pageflag (PG_waiters) to keep track of the waitqueue state
such that we can avoid the work when there are in fact no waiters
queued.

Currently guarded by CONFIG_NUMA, which is not strictly correct as
I've been told there actually are 32bit architectures that have NUMA.
Ideally Nick manages to reclaim a pageflag and we can make this
unconditional.
