I was really hoping Andy L would look at this since he suggested this
whole thing really.

I completely agree that this needs some wider testing. How about I pull
it into x86/mm so it gets some linux-next testing instead of having it
in mm-unstable? Maybe it'll also attract Andy's attention once it's in
there.
