What about that?  Obvious patch that got no objections from anybody and
AFAICS got in -rc3:

; git-whatchanged fs/hostfs/hostfs_kern.c|head
diff-tree daa35edc0a967d1f77c2e2c1346f57d04371487a (from bd948057357db5febfe64cf7a9ef11d7e347ffec)

    [PATCH] uml: remove empty hostfs_truncate method
    
    Calling truncate() on hostfs spits a kernel warning "Something isn't
    implemented here", but it still works fine.
    
    Indeed, hostfs i_op->truncate doesn't do anything.  But hostfs_setattr() ->
;

Judging by Signed-off-by it looks like a -mm -> Linus merge...
