Why didn't it show up in the linux-next builds?
Yes this appears to have been a silent merge conflict between my user namespace tree and your staging tree.
I care because it breaks my builds.
This build failure only shows up when CONFIG_USER_NS is enabled which would have required a randconfig build in linux-next for it to show up.
When I get the last of the filesystems converted for 3.8 this kind of failure should stop hiding in the more customary build checks.

I figured I found it, I fixed it, and I am going to be carrying the fix anyway in my tree, so why not make it easy on everyone and make it a patch that can be pulled.
