Actually, please don't.

Exactly because this needs that common vfs patch, I'd really prefer to
get it all through Al's tree, rather than have individual filesystems
apply their own copies of the common infrastructure commit, and then
apply their changes on top of that.

I can easily handle any trivial conflicts this causes, so that's not a
reason to have each filesystem do it either.

So if this is at the top of your tree, can you just "git reset" it
away and I'll get all the filesystems (and the common infrastructure
commit) all together from Al.
