Could you also point me to what tree is preferred to base the patches
for the mm subsystem, please? There are differences between linux-next
and the current version of mainline regarding these values.
(MEM_PREPARE_OFFLINE and MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE are being removed on
linux-next).

So I would appreciate if you could indicate what tree is the best to
base my changes, as I'm not that familiar with this subsystem.
