Unless I missed a followup from you, you mentioned that you thought there 
might be a better way to implement it, but you didn't highlight any 
problems with it:

   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20191031155608.GB7270@xxxxxx/

If you think there's something critically wrong with the patch that can be 
fixed in time for the merge window, I'm happy to take a look at a 
proposal.  Otherwise I think we'll need to drop the nommu set from the 
v5.5 queue.
