Well, that depends on the order that the two trees get merged into Linus'
tree.  If you get in first, then Trond will have to fix up his tree
before merging (or get Linus to apply my patch as a merge fixup).

One possible thing you could do is to apply both the nfs tree patch and
my patch to your tree (or merge the nfs tree into your tree and apply the
merge fixup), but that will cause a problem if the patch is updated in
the nfs tree (or the nfs tree rebases) ...

So the easiest thing (at leas at this early stage of the development
cycle) is for me to keep applying the merge fixup to my tree when I merge
the later of your two trees into linux-next (this is an automated
process).  Maybe in a few weeks we might do something different.
