Lorenzo, we crossed. Yours was 18:53, my withdrawal 19:10, so this isn't me
arguing back at it.

You're right, and so is David. These are patches I run on my own
workstation, they aren't settled yet, and I started posting them to put some
order on the pile. Wrong way round, and I can see that now.

On the process bit I should've got there myself. Coding assistant on the
changelog and on this thread, which generated-content.rst covers, and no
Assisted-by tag when there should have been one. Next ones will have it.
Reading both links now.

Patch is dead anyway, I had vma_thp_gfp_mask() backwards. That's in the
other mail.

Cheers,
Ferran
