When I was but a wee little bairn, my mother would always tell me
"never merge briefly tested patches when you're at -rc6".  But three
weeks in -next should shake things out.

However the series rejects due to the is_huge_zero_pmd ->
is_huge_zero_pfn changes in Luiz's "mm: introduce snapshot_page() v3"
series, so could we please have a redo against present mm-new?
