-Debian patch for aufs on 2.6.29
-
----
-
-Add support for Kernel 2.6.29.
-
-Changes we are affected by:
- 1. dentry_open() receives a new argument for passing the cred
- 2. current->fsuid is now current_fsuid()
- 3. disable security_inode_* calls, as they are not exported normally. Enable
-    them only if CONFIG_AUFS_SEC_PERM_PATCH is defined
