I think you should just merge:

vfs-7.2.exportfs
vfs-7.2.casefold

as the order doesn't matter and they don't depend on each other. I have
marked both branches as shared so they won't get touched again. If more
ends on either of these branches it doesn't matter to you. IOW, I think
you should just pick the minimum you need and then you don't need to
hear from again and by the time you send your pull request all the
prerequisites will already be in Linus' tree.

If you merge in vfs.all you're subject to problems from rebases. So I'd
not recommend that.
