Hi Steve,

I wanted to see whether Linus would like the changed version before
putting in a lot of calls to the new function. Linus wants to go with a
dentry child list instead, as that completely avoids searching the
unused list.

I've already implemented the child lists and will post a new patch
shortly.

Bill
