Subject: [GIT PULL] Add Character device in Userspace (CUSE) support

Linus,

Please pull the 'cuse' branch of the fuse tree from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse.git cuse

This adds support for character device emulation in userspace with the
help of already existing fuse infrastructure.  It was mostly
implemented by Tejun, including OSSP (an OSS emulation layer using
Pulse Audio) which makes use of this feature.

Thanks,
Miklos
