Ah, sorry about that.  When I started looking at it again yesterday
there turned out to be way too many cleanups and fixes I wanted to make
(beyond the comments I gave earlier), and I hadn't seen activity from
you on it in a while.  So I figured it would be easier to just send a
series myself.  But I should have asked you first, sorry.

So you'd like to discontinue the fscrypt and fsverity trees?  That's
what they are for: general infrastructure shared by multiple
filesystems.  Or is this comment just for this series in particular,
presumably because it touches 'struct inode'?
