I cloned the repo and it looks like everything was present, three recent
patches in all.

Built and ran my tests without any kernel issue.

The tests I run are limited in scope because they essentially use
opendir(3) and check mtab or /proc/mounts for mount and fs type.

Although I do plenty of NFS mount and umount I don't have anything that
tests NFS automounts.
