Andrew, could you please drop patches for this series.

I believe they are:
fs-make-is_local_mountpoint-usable-by-others.patch
fs-add-have_local_submounts.patch
autofs-make-mountpoint-checks-namespace-aware.patch
fs-remove-unused-have_submounts-function.patch

I'm going to have a go at what Eric and I discussed above rather than update
this series.
