Great, thanks for checking.

Series is nicely reviewed and an earlier version spent time in mm.git. 
And the bar tends to be lower for selftests.  So I *could* break my rule
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260323202941.08ddf2b0411501cae801ab4c@linux-foundation.org)
but would prefer not.  What do others think?

Did Venkat's report
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cf815c21-138e-44c8-986d-d8496503ee32@linux.ibm.com)
get addressed?  I'm not seeing that in the v2->v3 changelogging.
