SubjectRe: [PATCH v13 0/3] Fix issues with huge mapping in ioremap for ARM64
Hi Chintan,

Thanks for sticking with this. I've reviewed the series now and I'm keen
for it to land in mainline. Just a couple of things below.

Not sure we need to target -stable, since we solved the crash by disabling
the use of huge io mappings.

If you get an ack from the x86 folks, then I could take all of this via
arm64. Alternatively, now that I've reviewed the series this could happily
go via another tree (e.g. akpm).
