With several rounds of reviews done and the corresponding SELinux test
suite looking close to being ready I think it makes sense to merge
this via the SELinux tree.  VFS folks, if you have any comments or
objections please let me know soon.  If I don't hear anything within
the next day or two I'll go ahead and merge this for linux-next.

Thanks.
