This is a complete mess.

Your second patch (which is actually the first one) called "fix for
mm-introduce-common-page-state-for-ballooned-memory-fix-v2" is indeed a
fix for
mm-introduce-common-page-state-for-ballooned-memory-fix-v2.patch and
has a changelog.

I eventually worked out that your first patch (whcih is actually the
second one) called "fix for
mm-balloon_compaction-use-common-page-ballooning-v2" assumes that
mm-balloon_compaction-general-cleanup.patch has been applied. Does it
actually fix mm-balloon_compaction-use-common-page-ballooning-v2.patch?
I can't tell, because the "general cleanup" is in the way.

So I'm going to send "fix for
mm-balloon_compaction-use-common-page-ballooning-v2" to Linus
separately, but it has no changelog at all.

Please always write changelogs. Please never send more than one patch
in a single email. Please be *consistent* in filenames, patch titles,
email subjects, etc.

Please send me a changelog for the below patch.
