Mostly vfsmount-related stuff; some leftovers from mnt_devname
(not all, BTW - there's more pending cleanups around nfs/super.c) plus pstore fix plus deadlock fix in pivot_root(). The really neat thing is that now we have no blocking on fs locks under namespace_sem - the only blocking stuff under it now is kmalloc(), which makes things much more robust. Please, pull from the usual place -
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git/ for-linus

More to follow tonight - I hoped to push assorted patches accumulated during the last cycle in this pile, but that'll have to wait until the next push.

Shortlog:
Al Viro (6):
kill simple_set_mnt()
vfs: split off vfsmount-related parts of vfs_kern_mount() fix deadlock in pivot_root()
change the locking order for namespace_sem don't pass 'mounting_here' flag to follow_down() lose 'mounting_here' argument in ->d_manage()

Josef Bacik (1):
fs: call security_d_instantiate in d_obtain_alias V2

Tony Luck (1):
Some fixes for pstore
