Hi all,
this series sits on top of the vfs.super branch in the VFS tree and does a
few closely related things:
1) it also converts nilfs2 and btrfs to the new scheme where the file system
only opens the block devices after we know that a new super_block was
allocated.
2) it then makes sure that for all file system openers the super_block is
stored in bd_holder, and makes use of that fact in the mark_dead method
so that it doesn't have to fall get_super and thus can also work on
block devices that sb->s_bdev doesn't point to
3) it then drops the fs-specific holder ops in ext4 and xfs and uses the
generic fs_holder_ops there
