Please pull logfs tree

[JÃrn Engel]

Hi Linus,

in principle this should be a simple pull request.  But as Stephen
noted, the logfs tree conflicts with a patch from hch and I am unsure
how best to proceed.

I see three solutions that are remotely sane.

1) pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joern/logfs.git
and apply the patch at the bottom yourself.

2) pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joern/logfs_for_2.6.34
A tree with the patch applied that won't work standalone but will work
after being pulled into your tree (tested locally).

3) pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joern/logfs_for_2.6.34_alternative
A tree that merged your tree and the logfs tree, then has the patch
applied.  Works standalone but has an additional merge commit.

I would slightly prefer option 2), but you surely know better.

PS: And trees 2) and 3) haven't made it over from master.kernel.org yet.
    Not sure if I made a mistake or simply have to wait longer.
