So,

Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@xxxxxxxxxx>

to the first 3 patches. I'll review #4 when you resend. In principle, ack
also to 5 and 6, but for the sake of out-of-tree filesystems I think deprecating
for a version or two would be worthwhile. Of course, if your ima patches also
go through, then the out-of-three filesystems will spit out ima warnings anyway,
but they can consider that further pursuation to switch :)

Thanks, Eric.
