How about the things like followups to earlier merges?  I've got in
#for-linus
    update D/f/directory-locking
    add down_write_killable_nested()
    restore killability of old mutex_lock_killable(&inode->i_mutex) users

The first one probably should've been in the work.lookups merge, but
the last two clearly depend upon down_write_killable() having been already
merged...
