Pulled.

And looking at the diffs, I see sequences like

	dget(save.dentry);
	mntget(save.mnt);
	...
	path_put(&save);

which looks very strange compared to the natural sequence:

	path_get(&save);
	..
	path_put(&save);

and yes, I realize the code was just moved (and the reason for the mixing 
is that the "path_put()" conversion was done much more aggressively, as 
the ordering matters), but I'm bringing this up in the hope somebody has 
the energy to clean things like up some day...
