Good question as there is no really applicable tree.  One option
would the vfs tree as it toucheѕ some VFS stuff, and the follow on
series that depends on it is all about VFS bits.  Alternatively I
could set up a tree just for these bits.  The important bit is that
it doesn't go into the -mm tree as the usual catchall, as I have
more stuff that depends on it and requires a git tree.
