There's a test10-2 out there.
Notable change to people Cc'd on this mail: this contains the fix for the
vmalloc() and ioremap() race condition, which deletes the set_pgdir()
function and instead depends on the page table entries being distributed
to the other page directories automatically. Some architectures can do
this naturally by just sharing the kernrel pgd entries with "init_mm",
others, like the x86, need a dynamic page fault handler path for this.
See the arch/x86/mm/fault.c changes to see what arch-specific changes this
can entail.
Other changes are fairly straightforward..
