Good luck with that...

As far as I could tell, the lockless pagecache stuff seems pretty
good after that first unlock_page fix. It also had an issue with
page migration that KOSAKI san fixed. There is an open bug report,
but it is against another patchset and doesn't appear to have been
a problem in -mm. It may be a reiser4 problem. I'll keep at it, but
I don't think it is cause for alarm.
The multiple hugepages set seems fine. Very little noise about it
which I guess is thanks in large part to good reviewing from others.
Rik/Lee's patchset seem to be getting rather a bit of noise, but I'm
sorry to say I haven't followed or reviewed it much yet.
