Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 3/8] vfs: Convert tracefs to fs_context

How about this:

"""
Convert tracefs to the new internal mount API as the old one will be
obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in communication of
mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the filesystem.

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt
"""

I should update the subjects to say "Convert xxxfs to use the new mount
API" too.
