Hi Chintan,

Thanks for sticking with this. I've reviewed the series now and I'm keen
for it to land in mainline. Just a couple of things below.

Not sure we need to target -stable, since we solved the crash by disabling
the use of huge io mappings.

If you get an ack from the x86 folks, then I could take all of this via
arm64. Alternatively, now that I've reviewed the series this could happily
go via another tree (e.g. akpm).
