I didn't know anybody had picked that one up. It's completely safe to
just ignore that commit until the fmtcheck() utility is actually in.

Anna, can I take the fact that this was picked up as a sort-of implicit
ack, that I can use if and when I ever get around to resending the
fmtcheck() series? And for simplicitly, would you mind if the nfs patch
would just be routed along with the patches introducing fmtcheck()?
