I think the same applies to dm-crypt: at least patch #7 cannot be
applied until my eboiv patch is applied there as well, but [Milan
should confirm] I'd expect them to prefer taking those patches via the
dm tree anyway.

Herbert, what would you prefer:
- taking a pull request from a [signed] tag based on v4.3-rc1 that
contains patches #1, #4, #5 and #6, allowing Eric and Milan/Mike to
merge it as well, and apply the respective fscrypt and dm-crypt
changes on top
- just take patches #1, #4, #5 and #6 as usual, and let the fscrypt
and dm-crypt changes be reposted to the respective lists during the
next cycle
