I hope you understood that that was a joke :)

Sounds good. But please try inviting key HMM/driver developer as well.

Most of the core-mm folks attending that meeting are not that familiar 
with these concepts and they are usually not happy about:

(1) More core-MM complexity for things that can be neatly handled in
     separate subsystems with the existing infrastructure already.

(2) One new way of doing things why the other things remain in place.

(3) New MMAP flags. Usually you have a hard time getting this in.
     Sometimes, there are other ways (e.g., special-purpose file-
     systems).

(4) Changing controversial core-mm design decisions to handle corner
     cases.
