Before why split these patches was that, the content patches will change 
a lot and this may will stay in the testing branch for months. This will 
make it hard to test and rebase the non-encrypt patches based on encrypt 
ones when trying to pick and merge them.

The filename ones are simple and won't have the issue.

No worry, I can try to pick the content patches from wip-fscrypt branch 
soon. But before that please help check the existing non-encypt patches 
in the testing branch are okay and won't do big change later, which will 
always make me to rebase the content patches again and again and may 
involve many changes and potential bugs.

Thanks!
