* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: (57 commits)
  tidy the trailing symlinks traversal up
  Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhere
  simplify link_path_walk() tail
  Make trailing symlink resolution in path_lookupat() iterative
  update nd->inode in __do_follow_link() instead of after do_follow_link()
  pull handling of one pathname component into a helper
  fs: allow AT_EMPTY_PATH in linkat(), limit that to CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
  Allow passing O_PATH descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams
  readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames
  Allow O_PATH for symlinks
  New kind of open files - "location only".
  ext4: Copy fs UUID to superblock
  ext3: Copy fs UUID to superblock.
  vfs: Export file system uuid via /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
  unistd.h: Add new syscalls numbers to asm-generic
  x86: Add new syscalls for x86_64
  x86: Add new syscalls for x86_32
  fs: Remove i_nlink check from file system link callback
  fs: Don't allow to create hardlink for deleted file
  vfs: Add open by file handle support
