So I already have v1 and there's no explanation about the changes from v1 to v2.

The interdiff between v1 and v2 is below, it only affects x86, presumably it's 
done to simplify the header usage slightly: instead of including fixmap.h in both 
pgtable_32/64.h it's only included in the common pgtable.h file.

That's a sensible cleanup of the original patch and I'd rather not rebase it (as 
tip:x86/mm has other changes as well), so could I've applied the delta cleanup on 
top of the existing changes, with its own changelog.

Thanks,

	Ingo
