Re: [RFC PATCH 1/6] shmem: use alloc_file instead of init_file

So,

Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com>

to the first 3 patches.  I'll review #4 when you resend.  In principle, ack
also to 5 and 6, but for the sake of out-of-tree filesystems I think deprecating
for a version or two would be worthwhile.  Of course, if your ima patches also
go through, then the out-of-three filesystems will spit out ima warnings anyway,
but they can consider that further pursuation to switch :)

Thanks, Eric.
