Yes, CMM-1 will stay.

You also have to distinguish CMM-2 full (SLES10) and CMM-2 lite.

We were not able to bring the full CMM-2 version upstream, but the lite version
is upstream. So the work in z/VM and hardware is not wasted.

CMM-2 lite also uses CMMA, so every recent kernel can use the CMMA facility.
CMM2-lite uses only two page states (used vs. unused) while the CMM2 in SLES10
uses 4 page states.
