That, in turn, depends on Linus. Since this stuff got public testing
in -ac (since 2.4.7-ac3) and since Linus had said that he doesn't mind
patches landing in his mailbox after each prerelease... ;-)
I'll resubmit that stuff - let's see when it gets applied...

I think that doing variant against -ac first (or just fs/super.c stuff
that went into -ac) makes a lot of sense, since it will simplify testing.
We need this stuff in the tree and it's 2.4 matter - we need to close
the oopsen. I'd rather get tricky (and already debugged) stuff first
and then deal with relatively simple patch atop of it.
