Ok. OTOH, patch 3/3 has no dependency with other patches. so patch
3/3 should be perfectly applicable to crypto :-)

Hi Andrew,
Would you please handle patch 1/3 and 2/3 in mm-tree given Herbert's ack on

I don't understand what is the problem for a nents to cross two pages
as anyway they are contiguous in both physical and virtual addresses.
if they are not contiguous, they will be two nents.
