Al,
here are some patches that are indenpendant from but necessary for the union
mount patch set. Valerie and I think they are ok to go in separately from the
rest of the patches.

Thanks,
Jan

Jan Blunck (6):
  VFS: BUG() if somebody tries to rehash an already hashed dentry
  VFS: propagate mnt_flags into do_loopback
  VFS: Make lookup_hash() return a struct path
  VFS: Remove unnecessary micro-optimization in cached_lookup()
  VFS: Make real_lookup() return a struct path
  VFS: Introduce dput() variant that maintains a kill-list
