Would you consider pushing e3366737eeee6c3c482af3758c6dcb65eccfa62d and
dependencies (ba611b1c12a230785c25a7b3a5ea948fda8cc137,
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129200322526558&w=2)? It would make it
easier for userspace if first published kernel already had
FAN_READONLY_FALLBACK.

Which also reminds me, would a way to explicitly get the protocol version be
useful?
