Many thanks for trying to include those...

... and sorry for wasting your time again, with unfamiliar optimizer
failures. Best ignore patches from me, until I've got into cross-
compiling with your environment. Not this week.

Reverting just that shmem_pmd_fault() commit does leave linux-next
with lots of huge tmpfs patches in, but unable to do huge mappings
of tmpfs (but the DAX COW support that I'd broken restored).

Not worth rushing you another build fix to enable it: Andrew will be
reverting the whole series from his tree in the coming days, to make
way for some zone/node changes from Mel which it was obstructing.
