This patchset currently lives, along with one other unrelated patch, in the
audit next branch:

* git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit

I'm currently testing these in combination with the patch Al posted last

toss all six patches (these plus Al's) into another branch in case Al wants to
pull them for the VFS tree.
