I don't think the scope here, adding hooks for fsopen, fsconfig, fsmount,
fspick, open_tree, open_tree_attr and mount_setattr and using them
properly in all LSMs, is a reasonable ask for a single patchset. Given
how much time this simple refactoring patchset has taken, I don't foresee
this work landing in any reasonable timeframe.

Please consider reviewing this set and landing it before asking for more
work.

Thanks,
