Thanks, I am looking at the HMM CDM branch and trying to forward port
and see what the results look like on top of HMM-v23. Do we have a timeline
for the v23 merge?

So i am moving to new office and it has taken me more time than i thought
to pack stuff. Attach is first step of CDM on top of lastest HMM. I hope
to have more time tomorrow or next week to finish rebasing patches and to
run some test with stolen ram as CDM memory.

No worries, thanks for the update. I forward ported some of the stuff from
HMM-CDM myself for testing on top of v23, with some assumptions and names
like MEMORY_PRIVATE_COHERENT (a new type) and arch_add_memory for
hotplug. I also modified Reza's driver (test) to see how far I can get
with HMM-CDM.

I look forward to the HMM-CDM patchset that you post.
