    Impressively small and well done !

    Can you please make that patch set against

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-pti-for-linus

    so we immediately have it backportable for 4.14 stable? It's only a trivial
    conflict in pgtable.h, but we'd like to make the life of stable as simple
    as possible. They have enough headache with the pre 4.14 trees.

    We can pick some of the simple patches which make defines and inlines
    available out of the pile right away and apply them to x86/pti to shrink
    the amount of stuff you have to worry about.

    Thanks,

    tglx
