Another weeks has passed and I'd really like to make sure we don't
let the VFS leap.

I'll try to put together a tree over the next days so we can at least
get a minium amount of linux-next exposure.  Candidates are:

 - the direct-io.c warning fix from Boaz (really should 3.16 actually)
 - the unmount on symlink reference count fix
 - the rename/rename2 patches from Mikilos.  These are a bit older
   and could use a respin.

Anything else I've missed?
