Pushed out to

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse.git#for-next

Major changes compared to patchset:

 - renamed to "virtiofs".  Filesystem names don't usually have
underscore before "fs" postfix.

 - removed option parsing completely.  Virtiofs config is fixed to "-o
rootmode=040000,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,default_permissions".
Does this sound reasonable?

There are miscellaneous changes, so needs to be thoroughly tested.

I think we also need something in
"Documentation/filesystems/virtiofs.rst" which describes the design
(how  request gets to userspace and back) and how to set up the
server, etc...  Stefan, Vivek can you do something like that?

Thanks,
Miklos
