I pretty much take anything from Andrew, unless I hate it (and the
latest version of the transparent huge-page was ok).

That said, I did think that Andrew's -mm tree was in -next, and there
clearly is some serious problem wrt -mm and -next if this wasn't
caught earlier there.

I was also expecting the fixups to come through Andrew, and they
haven't. I can apply whatever people agree is sane, but right now I
don't even know what the final patch for this problem is.
