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:
  fs: take the ACL checks to common code
  bury posix_acl_..._masq() variants
  kill boilerplates around posix_acl_create_masq()
  generic_acl: no need to clone acl just to push it to set_cached_acl()
  kill boilerplate around posix_acl_chmod_masq()
  reiserfs: cache negative ACLs for v1 stat format
  xfs: cache negative ACLs if there is no attribute fork
  9p: do no return 0 from ->check_acl without actually checking
  vfs: move ACL cache lookup into generic code
  CIFS: Fix oops while mounting with prefixpath
  xfs: Fix wrong return value of xfs_file_aio_write
  fix devtmpfs race
  caam: don't pass bogus S_IFCHR to debugfs_create_...()
  get rid of create_proc_entry() abuses - proc_mkdir() is there for purpose
  asus-wmi: ->is_visible() can't return negative
  fix jffs2 ACLs on big-endian with 16bit mode_t
  9p: close ACL leaks
  ocfs2_init_acl(): fix a leak
  VFS : mount lock scalability for internal mounts
