Vivek's patch is the later version (so v2).
There are 2 differences between v1 and v2:
1. Vivek's commit message is more elaborate, so should take it.
2. Vivek's patch sets only d->stop and not d->opaque
This difference is purely semantic, because d->opaque is
ignored in ovl_lookup() for anything but the upper layer.

I am fine with the semantic change, but wasn't sure if you
had other meaning in mind w.r.t d->opaque and metadata
going forward.

Thanks,
Amir.
