Thanks Andrew,

As mentioned above there is one issue related to this series that we may
want to address.  It is described in the series at:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171109014109.21077-1-mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx

I did not get many comments on this series/issue.  If we want to do
something like this, now might be a good time.
