Hi! After the ping, I intended to resend the patch-set (with removals included) after I return from miniDebconf Hamburg, but you 1. are the author of the non-trivial part, 2. you have a better test machinery, and 3. I have a deeply seated preference for effort to be done by people who are not me. A rebased and working version is at https://github.com/kilobyte/linux/tree/nobz2-v3 but there are no real improvements beyond rebases, a typo fix, and Paul Burton's ACK for mips. There's an unaddressed comment by Ingo Molnar https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181112042200.ga96...@gmail.com/ for your part of the code. So what do you suggest?
