Well, in essence that's what this set is doing:
arch/x86/mm/pat/set_memory.c | 611 ++++----------------------------
{arch/x86/mm/pat => mm}/cpa-test.c | 66 ++--
mm/set_memory.c | 396 +++++++++++++++++++++
I just decided to postpone MAINTAINERS update that would add
mm/set_memory.c mm/cpa-test.c to MM CORE section until non-rfc version.
