Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 14/36] fs: add ksys_mount() helper; remove in-kernel
 calls to sys_mount()

Arnd, Christoph,

thanks for your review. On the basis of the goal of this patch series, I
will stick with the "mindless" conversion for the time being, but add the
following caveat to the commit message:

	In the near future, all callers of ksys_mount() should be converted to call
	do_mount() directly.

Could that be a compromise?

Thanks,
	Dominik
