I failed to notice that this patch didn't cc linux-mm.

MAINTAINERS doesn't ask people to cc linux-mm on xarray changes.

linux-mm averages 130 messages/day - I think it's reasonable to believe
that MM developers spend a few minutes a day scanning the Subject:s.

MM developers have an interest in the xarray code.
