Include that? Yeah, why not if the end result turns out to be simpler and easier to maintain. Please note that I was mostly after simplicity. There are other things to sort out though.

Please also note that I am too busy with the most "popular" bug these days, unfortunately, so my review bandwidth will be very limited. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
