Yes - icache series is on the top of my list, now that -open stuff
is (hopefully) sorted out (in for-next, anyway).

I'm putting together a queue with that stuff at the moment.

BTW, why have you left generic_readlink() sitting around?  AFAICS,
it could've been folded into the only remaining caller just as
you've made it static in late 2016...  I'll fold it in;
just curious what was the reason for not doing that back then...
