This week's kernel status is available at the usual URL:
http://www.kernelnewbies.org/status

Question for the crowd:
Does anyone know what is the status of these "cleanup" items?

o in -mm Avoid dcache_lock while path walking (Maneesh Soni, IBM team)
o Ready Switch to ->get_super() for file_system_type (Al Viro)

o Beta  file.h and INIT_TASK  (Benjamin LaHaise)  
o Beta  Proper UFS fixes, ext2 and locking cleanups  (Al Viro)  
o Beta  Lifting limitations on mount(2)  (Al Viro)  

Unless I hear otherwise, I will remove them soon, they have been in there forever.
Thanks!
