Well, I've got no comments whatsoever on the networking side of things;
might mean that everything's fine, might mean that everyone had been too
polite to say it's shite, might be something in between...  FWIW, changes
in iov_iter do not affect any of those patches, so the stuff posted
for review is unchanged by those.

Sure, but that was just a call for review.  _If_ you think that those patches
are OK, the URL is
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git for-davem
(and it pulls the fixed variant of iov_iter, otherwise it's exactly the same
as when I posted those).

FWIW, this stuff seems to work here, but I'd really like to hear at least
something before asking to pull.  As it is, your mail is the first reply of
any kind...
