These patches include fixes to enable fuzz testing, and a fix for
calculating whether a filesystem is user-modifiable.
So now these have been very recently rebased (on top of a random
merge-window "tree of the day" version) instead of having multiple
merges.

That makes the history cleaner, but has its own issues.

We really need to find a different model for the security layer patches.
If it helps, the process I use for the SELinux and audit trees is
documented below.  While it's far from perfect (I still don't like
basing the -next trees on -rcX releases) it has seemed to work
reasonably well for some time now.
