OK... Miklos, I've pushed #ovl-candidate, with equivalent of the beginning
of your branch. I'm *not* saying that I've no remaining issues
with your series - this is just how I'd prefer to resolve that group
of conflicts.

Everything past "vfs: simplify dentry_open()" could live on top of that
one, or its equivalent.

I'm going to put #work-open3 into -next, let's figure out what to do with
the conflicts; what I can promise is never-rebased status for #for-ovl
(the beginning of #work-open3 merged into #ovl-candidate).
