4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tom Herbert tom@herbertland.com
commit fc9e50f5a5a4e1fa9ba2756f745a13e693cf6a06 upstream.
The start callback allows the caller to set up a context for the dump callbacks. Presumably, the context can then be destroyed in the done callback.
