I am kind confused here now. IIRC Jens pulled the first three patches from
John's series into his tree, and John asked me to pull the other ones. I'm much
happier to see a single person pulling the whole series instead of splitting it
into different maintainers though.

Giving how spread the series is, I'd say going through vfs tree would be the
best place, but I'm not opposed to pull them myself.
