Al. Do you want involvement in any of these patches?
If not I will move them in the direction of linux-next and Linus. I
expect they are just interesting enough that I don't want to send them
as bug fixes during rc-late.
The feedback from the review I have recevied has been incorporated into:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git for-testing
While I have energy I would like to push these things and get these issues fixed.
