Thanks Stephen.

The changes look good to me.

There is also another fix in this commit that I will be sending out very
soon.

@Christian and @Stephen:

I see that fs-next still does not have the mm-unstable changes. When I
send the fix, should I base it on:

- vfs.blocksize branch from Christian?

or

- linux-next which has latest mm changes?
