Re: [PATCH] mm: huge_memory: don't force huge page alignment on 32 bit

Hey Greg, is below mail still in your queue of linux-stable mails to
process? If so please apologize this interruption and just ignore this
mail. I just started to wonder if it might have fallen through the
cracks somehow, as I've seen you updating stable-queue.git for 6.7.y,
but it's still missing this patch (and the other one mentioned) --
that's why I decided to write this quick status inquiry.

Ciao, Thorsten
