Understood -- my mistake was misreading the subsystem's direction:
from earlier list discussions I had concluded that keeping hugetlb's
reservation semantics intact was the bar, and designed the series
around that; I see now that the actual position is a broader feature
freeze.  Thank you both for the straight answer.

My apologies for the mess.  My SMTP provider (QQ) rewrites the
Message-ID header of outgoing mail but leaves In-Reply-To untouched,
so the patches reference a cover Message-ID that never reached the
list.

Fair, and thank you for raising it openly.  Full disclosure: I used
an LLM to help organise and polish the English of the cover letter
and the per-patch commit messages.  It also reviewed the code, and
some fixes found during those reviews were applied with its help.
That said, I understand every line of the final code and can defend
all of it in as much detail as anyone wants.  Going forward, any
submission from me will carry the disclosure tag that
Documentation/process/coding-assistants.html requires.

Point taken, and it is fair.  I will look for smaller mm work to
build that track record -- pointers to a good entry point are
welcome.

Thanks for the detailed reply, and for pointing me in the right
direction.
