This should have included your signed-off-by, as you were on the patch
delivery path.  I have made that change to my copy of the patch - is
that OK?

I also added a cc:stable.  Do we agree this is appropriate?

I added Dan's "On x86 the impact is limited to x86_32 builds, or x86_64
configurations that override the default setting for
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP." to the changelog.
