Definately, there's some d_obtain_alias stuff in linux-next which has 
been there since linux-2.6.27-rc4-next.  I thought it would make it into 
the final 2.6.27 but it didn't.

I thought linux-next *was* the tree that new patches should be based 
off.  However, the relationship between linux-2.6.git, linux-next.git, 
and the  -mm patch series seems to be a little vague to me, not to 
mention where the linux-staging tree fits into all this.
