Fixes: 4917f55b4ef9 ("mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory savings for compound devmaps") Fixes: faf1c0008a33 ("x86/vmemmap: optimize for consecutive sections in partial populated PMDs")
Fortunately both of these appeared in 6.9-rc7, which minimizes the problem with having more than one Fixes:.
But still, the Fixes: is a pointer telling -stable maintainers where in the kernel history we want them to insert the patch(es). Giving them multiple insertions points is confusing! Can we narrow this down to a single Fixes:?
