  sanitize vfsmount refcounting changes
  fix old umount_tree() breakage
  autofs4: Merge the remaining dentry ops tables
  Unexport do_add_mount() and add in follow_automount(), not ->d_automount()
  Allow d_manage() to be used in RCU-walk mode
  Remove a further kludge from __do_follow_link()
  autofs4: Bump version
  autofs4: Add v4 pseudo direct mount support
  autofs4: Fix wait validation
  autofs4: Clean up autofs4_free_ino()
  autofs4: Clean up dentry operations
  autofs4: Clean up inode operations
  autofs4: Remove unused code
  autofs4: Add d_manage() dentry operation
  autofs4: Add d_automount() dentry operation
  Remove the automount through follow_link() kludge code from pathwalk
  CIFS: Use d_automount() rather than abusing follow_link()
  NFS: Use d_automount() rather than abusing follow_link()
  AFS: Use d_automount() rather than abusing follow_link()
  Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automount

 	dynamic_dname() helper function is provided to take care of this.
 
+  d_automount: called when an automount dentry is to be traversed (optional).
+	This should create a new VFS mount record and return the record to the
+	caller.  The caller is supplied with a path parameter giving the
+	automount directory to describe the automount target and the parent
+	VFS mount record to provide inheritable mount parameters.  NULL should
+	be returned if someone else managed to make the automount first.  If
+	the vfsmount creation failed, then an error code should be returned.
+	If -EISDIR is returned, then the directory will be treated as an
+	ordinary directory and returned to pathwalk to continue walking.
+
+	If a vfsmount is returned, the caller will attempt to mount it on the
+	mountpoint and will remove the vfsmount from its expiration list in
+	the case of failure.  The vfsmount should be returned with 2 refs on
+	it to prevent automatic expiration - the caller will clean up the
+	additional ref.
+
+	This function is only used if DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT is set on the
+	dentry.  This is set by __d_instantiate() if S_AUTOMOUNT is set on the
+	inode being added.
+
+  d_manage: called to allow the filesystem to manage the transition from a
+	dentry (optional).  This allows autofs, for example, to hold up clients
+	waiting to explore behind a 'mountpoint' whilst letting the daemon go
+	past and construct the subtree there.  0 should be returned to let the
+	calling process continue.  -EISDIR can be returned to tell pathwalk to
+	use this directory as an ordinary directory and to ignore anything
+	mounted on it and not to check the automount flag.  Any other error
+	code will abort pathwalk completely.
+
+	If the 'mounting_here' parameter is true, then namespace_sem is being
+	held by the caller and the function should not initiate any mounts or
+	unmounts that it will then wait for.
+
+	If the 'rcu_walk' parameter is true, then the caller is doing a
+	pathwalk in RCU-walk mode.  Sleeping is not permitted in this mode,
+	and the caller can be asked to leave it and call again by returing
+	-ECHILD.
+
+	This function is only used if DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT is set on the
+	dentry being transited from.
