Much better!

I've applied them, with (very) minor readability edits here and there, and will
push them out into tip:x86/mm and tip:master after some testing - you can use that
as a base for the remaining submissions.

I've also applied the GUP patch, with the assumption that you'll address Linus's
request to switch x86 over to the generic version.

Thanks,

Ingo
