Cover letter [patch 00/10] Use struct path in struct nameidata

This is a respin of the patch series Andreas posted last month. It leaves out the restructuring of the intent which will be done at a later point in time.

There are three preparing patches that remove unneeded code IMHO. I haven't got feedback from Takashi since he is on holiday. Please, can somebody else acknowledge the changes?

Comments?
