Subject: [PATCH 00/38] Union mounts - union stack as linked list

This version of union mounts implements two major changes requested by
Al Viro:

* Drastically simplify the union stack for a directory.  It is now a
  singly linked list rooted in the dentry of the topmost directory,
  instead of a set of path -> path mappings kept in a hash table.  The
  union hash table lookup routines have gone away, along with most of
  struct union_dir.

* On union mount, clone the underlying read-only mounts and keep them
  in a list hanging off the superblock of the topmost file system.

It also includes many other minor fixups, but those are the big
changes.

Patches are against 2.6.34.  Git version is in branch "linked_list" of:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/val/linux-2.6.git

Next up: Rewrite user_path_nd() and associated code, and implement the
rest of Al Viro's code review comments.
