I'm planning to roll all these into a single commit:
acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat.patch acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat-fix.patch acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat-fix-fix.patch acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat-fix-fix-fix.patch acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat-fix-fix-fix-fix.patch acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat-fix-fix-fix-fix-fix.patch
for reasons of tree-cleanliness and to avoid bisection holes. They're at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/.
Can you please check the changelog for acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat.patch to see if it needs any updates due to all the fixup patches? If so, please send me the new changelog, thanks.
Also, please review the changelogging for these:

and while we're there, let's pause to admire how prescient I was in refusing to merge all this into 3.8-rc1 :)
