I think the whole series has already landed in Andrew's tree,
including the arm64 "perf" lockup detector bits. I saw all the
notifications from Andrew go through over the weekend that they were
moved from an "unstable" branch to a "stable" one and I see them at:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm.git/log/?h=mm-nonmm-stable
When I first saw Anderw land the arm64 perf lockup detector bits in
his unstable branch several weeks ago, I sent a private message to the
arm64 maintainers (yourself included) to make sure you were aware of
it and that it hadn't been caught in mail filters. I got the
impression that everything was OK. Is that not the case?
