All looks good to me. I had a wish-list change for one of the patches
that I sent a reply out for, but even without that it's clearly an
improvement.

Of course, I just looked at the patches for sanity, rather than
testing anything. Maybe there's something stupid in there. But it all
looked straightforward. So Ack from me, with the hope that you'd do
that "vfs_chown/chmod()" thing.
