Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: (52 commits)
  init: Open /dev/console from rootfs
  mqueue: fix typo "failues" -> "failures"
  mqueue: only set error codes if they are really necessary
  mqueue: simplify do_open() error handling
  mqueue: apply mathematics distributivity on mq_bytes calculation
  mqueue: remove unneeded info->messages initialization
  mqueue: fix mq_open() file descriptor leak on user-space processes
  fix race in d_splice_alias()
  set S_DEAD on unlink() and non-directory rename() victims
  vfs: add NOFOLLOW flag to umount(2)
  get rid of ->mnt_parent in tomoyo/realpath
  hppfs can use existing proc_mnt, no need for do_kern_mount() in there
  Mirror MS_KERNMOUNT in ->mnt_flags
  get rid of useless vfsmount_lock use in put_mnt_ns()
  Take vfsmount_lock to fs/internal.h
  get rid of insanity with namespace roots in tomoyo
  take check for new events in namespace (guts of mounts_poll()) to namespace.c
  Don't mess with generic_permission() under ->d_lock in hpfs
  sanitize const/signedness for udf
  nilfs: sanitize const/signedness in dealing with ->d_name.name
  ...

Fix up fairly trivial (famous last words...) conflicts in
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c and security/tomoyo/realpath.c
