Unfortunately, you can't split the patches like this. If somebody's
running a git bisect for an entirely different problem and lands on the
boundary between these two patches, they'll have a non-functional kernel
(at least if they're using hugetlbfs). So these two patches have to be
combined. Maybe there's another way to split up the patches, but I
don't immediately see it. Maybe after I read more of them.
