Sorry for the late reply. Locally I have this patchset on top of
linus/master and a patchset that added add_reservation_in_range.

But, this patchset can be rebased on top of this commit with 'minimal'
merge conflicts:

commit c1ca56bab12f3 (tag: v5.4-rc7-mmots-2019-11-15-18-40, github-akpm/master)
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

pci: test for unexpectedly disabled bridges

It's the latest mmotm I find on https://github.com/hnaz/linux-mm.git.
My next patchset will be rebased on top mmotm.
