Ok, this whole series of patches have just been such a disaster that I'm
(a) disgusted that _anybody_ sent an Acked-by: for any of it, and (b) that
I'm still looking at it at all, but I am.

And quite frankly, the more I look, and the more answers from you I get,
the less I like it. And I didn't like it that much to start with, as you
may have noticed.

You say that "At least for mmu-notifier-core given I obviously am the
original author of that code", but that is not at all obvious either. One
of the reasons I stated that authorship seems to have been thrown away is
very much exactly in that first mmu-notifier-core patch:

+ * linux/mm/mmu_notifier.c
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 2008 Qumranet, Inc.
+ * Copyright (C) 2008 SGI
+ * Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

so I would very strongly dispute that it's "obvious" that you are the
original author of the code there.

So there was a reason why I said that I thought authorship had been lost
somewhere along the way.
