Wait for upstream of course.

Given the conflicts, I can provide back-ports once upstream upon 
request. It should be noted that the backports should be mechanical and 
trivial (skip non-existent filesystems like orangfs, drop separate inode 
argument that did not exist in earlier kernels).

I will submit the next spin (missed a few filesystems, build errors) 
with references to the requested stable trees again, so noise will continue.
