The above and the below link are only necessary in the cover letter, or
below the --- marker below, they don't really make sense in the
committed log.

Anyway, aside from that and one nit on 2/ (sent separately), the series
looks ok to me and I hope David and Jason will chime in with A-b/R-b
give the previous discussions.

Given the build bot error[1] I'd suggest resending all your work in a
single series, the previous map optimization and the unmap optimization
here. That way the dependency is already included, and it's a good
nudge for acks. Thanks,

Alex
