I definitely am not going to pull this series for 2.6.36. I could possibly take this first one that only prepares for the real change and doesn't actually change anything in itself, but switching around the order of allocations after -rc5 would be crazy. Yes, it may help some people, but we have absolutely no idea who it could hurt. So the whole thing is definitely something for the merge window (and preferably pretty early there too) Linus
