I guess either is OK. The main thing is to get it all reviewed and tested, after all. I can take all the patches once it's all lined up and everyone is happy. If the net bits later take significant damage then I can squirt them at you once the core MM bits are merged. That would give you a few days to check them over and get them into Linus. If that's a problem, we can hold the net bits over for a cycle. That's all assuming that the core MM parts are mergeable without the net parts being merged. I trust that's the case! -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
