I only got so far through the patch set and then got interrupted (was at
different conferences for 2 weeks), sorry.  I'll get the rest of the
patchset added later today.

Note, I did talk to Al Viro about these patches last week at the kernel
summit, and he advised holding off on sending them to mainline before he
could review them.  So I'll keep them in my tree for now, but not push
them to Linus until he acks them as he raised a few issues in our
conversation.

thanks,
