Few notes. We included only the stuff we consider to be fixes and
improvement/new feature patches were not included. These patches:

UBIFS: do not update min_idx_lebs in stafs
UBIFS: push empty flash hack down
UBIFS: improve statfs reporting
UBIFS: introduce LEB overhead
UBIFS: improve statfs reporting even more

which may look like non-fixes actually fix this complaint:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2008-August/022579.html

The
UBIFS: fill f_fsid
UBIFS: amend f_fsid

patches we also consider as fixes because it's not really OK
to avoid filling f_fsid, and we need f_fsid for NFS support.

Thanks.
