Thanks Greg!
I forgot to specify in the cover letter, this patch is based on
v3.2 PLUS my zv stat fix (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/30/48)
and crypto API support patch v2 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/3/263).
Both have been Acked by Dan and Nitin had Acked v1 of the crypto API
support patch. Everything should merge cleanly if applied in that
order.
