Who are you execting to pull this huge patch series?
Dave Chinner suggested to have Al Viro pick up the whole series.
Why not just introduce the new api call, wait for that to be merged,
and
then push the individual patches through the different subsystems?
After half of those get ignored, then provide a single set of patches
that can go through Andrew or my trees.
That was the original approach for v4.7, but (along with requesting
a number of reworks that Deepa incorporated), Linus preferred doing
the API change done in one chunk, see
