Dear Mr. Viro,

I looked over fs/ especially in concerńs of status-informations - I
had better not done it.
This remembered me the crap with drm/kms with all its useless driver info.

Here for you:

[   10.998890] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[   13.147821] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0

( On a quick Google search I found [1] (I rememebr there were 4
patches but break user-space as there exists kernel-drm and libdrm). )

As an enduser I want some useful help.

As a non-native English I had to look up that "bikeshedding" word.
People asked for review why not test it and give feedback - even
report on useless stuff seen from your POV.
This might be a little detail in your eyes - but you are free to have
a deeper look on overlayfs as an filesystem-expert.
For me it is important that this drama comes to an end.
O.O. drama - isn't someone dying in the end :-).
Take it with British humour :-).
