Do I really have to spell out what is wrong with that codebase that
needs to be fixed up?  It took me 50+ patches for 3.17-rc1 to just fix
up a _portion_ of the include file mess that is in there.  Now is the
first time the code actually _builds_ properly in the kernel tree (i.e.
no magic header file include path modifications in Makefiles preventing
individual files from being built correctly.)

If you all don't know what needs to be done here, then I might as well
just delete the drivers/staging/lustre/ tree right now.
