Well, I had some questions and comments for the mount notifications
last time around[1] and didn't yet get a reply.

And the fsinfo stuff is simply immature, please lets not merge it just
yet.  When we have some uses (most notably systemd) running on top of
the current fsinfo interface, we can sit down and discuss how the API
can be cleaned up.

BTW I had a similar experience with the fsconfig() merge, which was
pushed with some unpolished bits and where my comments were also
largely ignored.  So, before asking to pull, please at least *answer*
reviews.  You don't have to agree, but at least consider and think
about the comments.

Thanks,
Miklos
