There's a conflict with patch 1 - you can see the same changes made to afs and
ceph there, but apart from that, no.  However, I can't do patch 6 without it
being applied first.  If Dominique or one of the other 9p people can get Linus
to apply it now, that would be great, but I think that unlikely since the
merge window has passed.
