I'm assuming/hoping that this whole series will be handled by the x86
team.


I have retained three random pat patches in mm.git since July 23:

x86-mm-pat-acquire-init_mm-write-lock-on-collapse-to-avoid-uaf.patch
x86-mm-pat-acquire-init_mm-read-lock-on-attribute-change-to-avoid-uaf.patch
x86-mm-pat-allocate-split-page-tables-as-kernel-page-tables.patch

just to get them some testing exposure.  But they're old.  I've heard
no reports since adding them.

There's nothing more to be learned by keeping these in mm.git so I'll
remove them now.
