[GIT PULL] multi-layer support for overlay filesystem

[Miklos Szeredi]

Al,

Please pull from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git overlayfs-next

This adds support for multiple read-only layers to overlayfs.  It also makes the
writable upper layer optional.

This is a highly requested feature and has been in -next for the last cycle.

Thanks,
Miklos
