The code quality is IMHO already good. We do change common mm code though
and we want to get some feedback on that.

I would really appreciate if Andrea could have a look at the code. I've
read the patches and I am fine with them but it is very easy to miss some
important bit.

As far as upstreaming is concerned: I can deal with the pure s390 parts
via the s390 tree if that helps you. If you prefer the carry all of them,
that is fine with me as well.
