OK... Let's do it that way - overlayfs part goes into never-rebased branch
(no matter which tree), pulled into dcache series and into your overlayfs
update, with removal of unused stuff done in a separate patch in dcache
series.

That way we won't step on each other's toes when reordering, etc.
Does that work for you? I can put the overlayfs part into #no-rebase-overlayfs
in vfs.git, or you could do it in a v6.7-rc1-based branch in your tree -
whatever's more convenient for you.
