Ok. With all the conversions, and removal of lglock, my dislike of
this goes away.

I'm somewhat worried about Daniel's report about "building a kernel
with 'make -j200' was extreme slow", but that may be due to something
else (does the machine have enough memory for "make -j200"? The kernel
compile parallelizes so well, and gcc uses so much memory, that you
need a *lot* of memory to use things like "-j200").

But assuming that gets sorted out, and somebody looks at the few file
locking performance issues, I have no objections to this series any
more.
