Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6:
  RCUify freeing acls, let check_acl() go ahead in RCU mode if acl is cached
  get rid of boilerplate switches in posix_acl.h
  fix block device fallout from ->fsync() changes
