I think that there's already enough mess with this patch. Alexander
submitted new version of his MTE series together with the patch.

Now you're asking me to merge it separately. I don't want to undercut
arm64 folks.

Can you guys decide what you want? If you want to move
bitmap_read/write() with my branch, I need to send it in -next for
testing ASAP. And for that, as I already said, I need at least one
active user in current kernel tree. (Yes, bitmap_get_value8() counts.)

If you want to move it this way, please resend all the patches
together.

Thanks,
Yury
