You can only rebase on top of the vfs-idmapping tree if you get a
guarantee that it is immutable.  In any case, it may be better to merge
(an immutable subset) of the vfs-idmapping tree (and fix up the
conflicts) rather than rebasing on top of it.

Alternatively, just leave the fix up to Linus (but mention it to him
when you send your pull requests).
