Subject: [GIT PULL] (cleancache) stable/for-linus-3.4

Hey Linus,

Please git pull the following tag:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/mm.git stable/for-linus-3.4

which has some patches for the cleancache API that should have been
submitted a _long_ time ago. They are basically cleanups:
 - rename of flush to invalidate
 - moving reporting of statistics into debugfs
 - use __read_mostly as necessary.

Oh, and also the MAINTAINERS file change. The files (except the
MAINTAINERS file) have been in #linux-next for months now. The late
addition of MAINTAINERS file is a brain-fart on my side - didn't realize
I needed that just until I was typing this up - and I based that patch
on v3.3 - so the tree is on top of v3.3.

Please pull!
