Thanks. I think it would be good to get someone who's familiar with linux/mm to take a look.
if you think it'll help. I'm assuming you're targeting a different tree for the patch set, in which case it's probably best to keep this together with the rest of it.

No I think this series should be pulled by the RISC-V maintainer. The other patches in this series just refactor some code and need to be ACK'ed by their ARCH developers but I suspect the series should be pulled into RISC-V. That said since it does touch other arch should it be pulled by mm?
BTW note that RISC-V SPARSEMEM support is pretty useful for all manner of things and not just the p2pdma discussed in the cover.

Ah, OK -- I thought this was adding the support everywhere. Do you mind re-sending the patches with the various acks/reviews and I'll put in on for-next?

Thanks for porting your stuff to RISC-V!

You bet ;-)
