The series looks good to me know. How do we want to handle it? I think
we need a special branch somewhere (maybe in the block or mm trees?)
so that we can base the other iov_iter work from John on it. Also
Al has a whole bunch of iov_iter changes that we probably want on
the same branch as well, although some of those (READ vs WRITE fixups)
look like 6.1 material to me.


A little earlier, Jens graciously offered [1] to provide a topic branch,
such as:

for-6.2/block-gup [2]

(I've moved the name forward from 6.1 to 6.2, because that discussion
was 7 weeks ago.)
