This ordering makes it quite hard to revert individual patches after merging in case they are faulty, because we end up with a tree state that has no soft limit implementation at all, or a newly broken one. Could you reorder the series such that each patch leaves the tree in a sane state? I.e. also don't introduce an endless loop in the page allocator through one patch and fix it later in another one ;) Noone will be able to remember these cross-dependencies in a couple of weeks.
