Please don't add my Signed-off-by when I have never even seen or reviewed 
a patch -- that is completely unacceptable.  Second, I don't think this 
patch is suitable for 3.11, as it has not seen much testing outside of one 
test program I had written.  It's a long standing bug, so it isn't urgent 
to get the fix into the tree.  That said, it did pass a few tests I ran 
last night, so it is probably suitable for the -next tree.

As for patch 1, it looks okay to me, but will need Al Viro's signoff.
