Sorry. Slightly more fundamental stuff and it interacts with knfsd
patches. What happens right now is the switch to new architecture for
mount-related stuff and lookups. It's almost VFS-only, with some
exceptions; knfsd being one of them. knfsd stuff will go as soon as that
crap will be past the critical phase - table of exports and first steps of
fhandle to dentry conversion are seriously affected by mount stuff and as
soon as that will be in we will be able to get fhandle_to_dentry() into
the tree.
ObReiserfs: what about readdir() vs. rebalancing and friends?
