With this one it would be along the lines of "the parts of Christoph's write_one_page() elimination series that missed the previous merge window". pull-fd: "routine whack-a-mole for new unwarranted callers of fget() that really ought to have been using fdget() - that kind of stuff keeps cropping up and needs to be hunted down once in a while". pull-old_dio: "For a while fs/direct-io.c had been trying to keep up with filesystems' demands; eventually the tricky cases started to convert to iomap-based variant, so some of the stuff added for e.g. btrfs sake had become unused. Longer term we want to get rid of fs/direct-io.c completely, but for now let's at least undo some of the now-useless complexity there" pull-nios2, pull-misc: really can't improve the descriptions in those...
