I apologize, there was no ill intent here at all. get_maintainers.pl
gave me 27 addresses for this series and I honestly thought that was
too aggrandizing and self-important for what these patches are lol.

So what you're looking at is a (poor) attempt at trimming down the CC
list based on who I had talked to about these patches at the THP
meeting and who I remember had worked on shrinkers & cgroups.

I can CC everybody going forward, not a problem. Personally I don't
mind getting CCd generously, but my understanding is that some people
do...
