I'd also like to add another, structural side note: you

preferably on top of what we have already once it has
settled down. I'm keeping the 'perf bench numa' bits
separate as well.

The stats part are fairly late in the queue. I noticed they
break build for !CONFIG_BALANCE_NUMA but it was trivially
resolved. [...]

Ok - the vm-stats bits are the last larger item remaining that
I've seen - could you please redo any of your changes on top of
the latest tip:numa/core tree, to make them easier for me to
pick up?

Your tree is slowly becoming a rebase of tip:numa/core and that
will certainly cause problems.

Mel's tree looks like the easiest of the two to merge
from an mm/ point of view.

I'll backmerge any delta patches and rebase as necessary - but
please do them as deltas on top of tip:numa/core to make things
reviewable and easier to merge:

Thanks!
