Hi Lianbo,
I've reviewed the patchset and it looks good to me.
Also, I've tested it on my x86_64 and i686 Fedora servers
with some different configurations (including panic in initramfs)
and it worked correctly.
Thank you very much for your great job!

Thank you, Kazu. I am very glad that you are willing to help to review
this patch.
Thanks.
