Hi Roberto,

I had really hoped the vfs/ocfs2 folks would have commented on this by
now, but it's been over two months now with no comments that I can see
so I think we have to do it ourselves via the LSM tree.  It's
obviously too late for the upcoming merge window, so no v6.3, but I
think we can merge it *after* the upcoming merge window closes,
assuming we get ACKs from Mimi on the EVM bits (I still need to review
it too, but I'm not expecting anything too bad).
