Hi vfs maintainers, Jens,

Can you please let me know if you have any issues with this series?
Specifically the first few patches.

This work has been on the lists for a year now, and most seem happy /
content with it.

I really would like this to be this merged in this cycle.

Note that I plan to post a new series version soon, addressing comments
from Hannes and Christoph, but they are not major changes.

Thanks,
John
