Did something pop up that I don't know of that prevented inclusion of this
patch, other than the NSEC option, or will it do if just refresh the patch?

I think all of us liked the general direction, and also all of us agreed
that we would want to keep NSEC support that was removed by Linus's patch.

Nobody had time or inclination to update the patch to implement the
consensus (I still had the thread in my inbox, by the way).  So "just
refresh the patch" would be the necessary first step.

There is an awful lot of "trust-something" variables. Maybe they can be
consolidated into a bitmask/bitfields? And a config option taking a list of
filesystem features which can be trusted for a good measure (preserving
old "trust_something" options, of course).
