Subject: [GIT PULL -mm] 0/2 Unionfs updates/fixes/cleanups


The following is a series of patches related to Unionfs: just a couple of
small bug fixes and/or optimizations.

These patches were tested (where appropriate) on Linus's 2.6.24 latest code
(as of v2.6.24-rc4-124-gf194d13), MM, as well as the backports to
2.6.{23,22,21,20,19,18,9} on ext2/3/4, xfs, reiserfs, nfs2/3/4, jffs2,
ramfs, tmpfs, cramfs, and squashfs (where available). See
http://unionfs.filesystems.org/ to download back-ported unionfs code.

Please pull from the 'master' branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ezk/unionfs.git

to receive the following:

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Unionfs: cleanup/consolidate branch-mode parsing code

Also a bug fix: disallow unrecognized branch modes at mount time, instead of
defaulting to "rw".
