Hm, with this, ext3.ko has a new dependency on exportfs.ko. Is that

Drat, you're right.
No, I don't think that is what we want.
I'll do it differently in a day or so.
Would moving export_iget into fs/inode.c & exporting it from there be a
reasonable way to go? At least ext2 & ext3 both have this need (prevent
nfs access to special inodes) so putting the bulk of what they need for
get_dentry (i.e. export_iget) somewhere common seems like a decent
option to me.
