Subject: fuse: use MISC_MAJOR
From: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


The following patches add POSIX file locking to the fuse interface.

Additional changes ralated to this are:

  - asynchronous interrupt of requests by SIGKILL no longer supported

  - separate control filesystem, instead of using sysfs objects

  - add support for synchronously interrupting requests

Details are documented in Documentation/filesystems/fuse.txt throughout the
patches.



This patch:

Have fuse.h use MISC_MAJOR rather than a hardcoded '10'.
