Hi David,

Do you think i should just staple these commits together at this point?

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20251009161515.422292-1-gourry@xxxxxxxxxx/

If not i'll drop the '.' and just resubmit this with tags and just
update the commit message on movable_gigantic_pages to reference this
commit and your notes from there.
