Once resolved it stops being a pain :)

I can base the conflicting KHO work on mm-stable.
But if mm-stable is rebased we'd be in a bigger trouble.

Ideally we'd have a stable branch in mm tree that only contains "mm:
Refactor bootmem gigantic hugepage allocation" series and then this branch
would be easily merged into mm-stable and into liveupdate tree.

I'm going to keep liveupdate tree as it is for a couple of days and when
Pratyush sends the updated version we can resync again.
