Hi Linus - Here is a fix for ecryptfs_statfs(). It had simply deferred
to the lower filesystem's statfs(), but the filename encryption feature
significantly reduces the max filename length. There are a few
applications that have trouble with the filename length limitation and I
think exposing the maximum length in statfs() calls is the first step in
improving the situation.

I'm a little torn on whether the fix needs to go in so late in the
cycle, but I feel it is low risk. If you disagree, I have no problem
waiting for 3.3.

The other patch is an update to Dustin's email address in MAINTAINERS.

The following changes since commit 511585a28e5b5fd1cac61e601e42efc4c5dd64b5:

I'd much prefer waiting at this point,
