[PATCH -next 0/3] Add support for fast mremap

Hi,
Here is the latest "fast mremap" series. This just a repost with Kirill's
Acked-bys added. I would like this to be considered for linux -next.  I also
dropped the CONFIG enablement patch for arm64 since I am yet to test it with
the new TLB flushing code that is in very recent kernel releases. (None of my
arm64 devices run mainline right now.) so I will post the arm64 enablement once
I get to that. The performance numbers in the series are for x86.

List of patches in series:

(1) mm: select HAVE_MOVE_PMD in x86 for faster mremap

(2) mm: speed up mremap by 20x on large regions (v4)
v1->v2: Added support for per-arch enablement (Kirill Shutemov)
v2->v3: Updated commit message to state the optimization may also
	run for non-thp type of systems (Daniel Col).
v3->v4: Remove useless pmd_lock check (Kirill Shutemov)
	Rebased ontop of Linus's master, updated perf results based
        on x86 testing. Added Kirill's Acks.

(3) mm: treewide: remove unused address argument from pte_alloc functions (v2)
v1->v2: fix arch/um/ prototype which was missed in v1 (Anton Ivanov)
        update changelog with manual fixups for m68k and microblaze.

not included - (4) mm: select HAVE_MOVE_PMD in arm64 for faster mremap
    This patch is dropped since last posting pending further performance
    testing on arm64 with new TLB gather updates. See notes in patch
    titled "mm: speed up mremap by 500x on large regions" for more
    details.
