I was planning on sending FUSE into Linus in a week or two. That and
cpusets are the notable features which are 2.6.12 candidates.

- crashdump seems permanently not-quite-ready

- perfctr works fine, but is rather deadlocked because it is
similar-to-but-different-from ia64's perfmon, and might not be suitable
for ppc64 (although things have gone quiet on the latter front).

- nfsacl should be OK for 2.6.12 if Trond is OK with it.

- cachefs is a bit stuck because it's a ton of complex code and afs is
the only user of it. Wiring it up to NFS would help.

- dm multipath is OK for 2.6.12

- reiser4 is less clear. Once all the review comments have been addressed
and we start seeing a bit of vendor pull for it, maybe.
