s/developed/rebased/, actually, but... point taken.  Mea culpa, and what
to do with those patches is for you to decide; some of those are simply
-stable fodder and probably ought to go one-by-one at any point you would
consider convenient, some are of the "remove stale comment" variety (obviously
can sit around until the next cycle, or go in one-by-one at any point - the
things like
-
-       /* WARNING: probably going away soon, do not use! */
in inode_operations; the comment used to be about the method removed last
cycle and should've been gone with it; etc.)

There's a large pile not in those two classes - xattr+richacl stuff.  I'm more
confident about the first part, but strictly speaking neither qualifies as
fixes.

FWIW, the stuff that had been _developed_ during the merge window is not there
- a patch series around the descriptor bitmaps.  Doesn't change the situation;
I'd fucked up this cycle ;-/
