Hi Marco

I was sure you guys where pushing this patch through some
vfs tree. (Hence my Acked-by below). I have just sent Linus
a pull request for the 3.7 Kernel. I could perhaps append this
one and resend.

I do want this patch, and it is completely independent and can
go through my tree. Please tell me what do you want to do with
this patch, should I push it? Or are you pushing it through Al

Thanks
Boaz
