It's not really a pressing issue since /dev/autofs is accessible only to
root. I also doubt that it causes problems for actual users.

If there are no issues with the patch, I think it's best if you could
ack/sign off on it and if Andrew wants to take it now, he could. If he
doesn't, it could wait for whenever.

I just don't want it getting lost somewhere and never making it upstream.


Thanks,
