Why is there still the hlist stuff being used for the mmu notifier list? 
And why is this still unsafe?

There are cases in which you do not take the reverse map locks or mmap_sem
while traversing the notifier list?

This hope for inclusion without proper review (first for .25 now for .26) 
seems to interfere with the patch cleanup work and cause delay after delay 
for getting the patch ready. On what basis do you think that there is a 
chance of any of these patches making it into 2.6.26 given that this 
patchset has never been vetted in Andrew's tree?
