Subject: [PATCH 0/3] NTFS: Remove VLA usage

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this series
removes all the VLAs in use in fs/ntfs/. A couple strategies are used,
and are detailed in the individual patches.

As far as I can tell, -mm was the last place to take NTFS-specific
patches, so I'm aiming this series at Andrew and hoping Anton can
review/ack/etc. :)

Thanks!
