Applied, with a couple of changes:
	* there's no need for those games with ihold/iput - opened file pins
its inode down just fine, TYVM.
	* struct fd_info is pointless in that form - the last argument
of single_open() will end up in seq_file ->private, so let's just pass
the inode there and use m->private in ->show().

I'll push that into vfs.git#master (along with the previous patch) in a few
hours.

O_CLOEXEC is taken care of in my tree.  FWIW, I'm consolidating descriptor
handling in general into fs/file.c (and I'm seriously tempted to rename
that sucker to something like fs/descriptors.c or fs/fdtable.c); some of
that stuff is already in #master.  I'm probably going to move some of the
code from your fs/proc/fd.c there as well...
