Umm...  OK, I see what happened - buggered script generating
shortlog/diffstat plus me not noticing that it hadn't reported a couple
of fixes I'd put there yesterday.  All 3 are intended to be sent;
iio is an outright bugfix, microblaze one could wait, in theory, but
it's guaranteed to be safe (removal of header nothing includes, done on
all architectures years ago, with microblaze tree apparently copying it
from sparc and keeping all along) and the sooner such things are buried,
the fewer places will copy that *again*...

Anyway, consider that a pull request for all 3 commits.  Proper shortlog
and diffstat follow.

Shortlog:
Al Viro (3):
      microblaze: bury asm/namei.h
      iio: fix a leak due to improper use of anon_inode_getfd()
      mount_subtree() pointless use-after-free

Diffstat:

FWIW, the fixed form of script follows; if you see any potential problems in
it, please tell:
echo Shortlog:
base=`git merge-base origin "$1"`
git log --pretty=short "$base..$1" | git shortlog
echo Diffstat:
git diff --stat -M "$base..$1"
