Thanks Andrew, I'm happy to take this approach assuming Catalin/Will agree.

But to be pedantic for a moment, I nominated patches 1-3 and 13 as candidates
for stable. 1-3 should definitely go via arm64. 13 is a pure mm fix. But later
arm64 patches in the series depend on it being fixed. So I wouldn't want to put
13 in through mm tree if it means 14-16 will be in the arm64 tree without the
fix for a while.

Anyway, 13 doesn't depend on anything before it in the series so I can gather
the fixes in to a series of 4 as you suggest. Then the improvements become a
series of 12. And both can go via arm64?

I'll gather review comments then re-post as 2 series for v2; assuming
Will/Catalin are happy.

Thanks,
Ryan
