Hi Stephen,

I picked up your fsync patches, and there is a variety of likely minor
difficulties.

First what's the difference between
fsynv-2.2.6-v2
fsynv-2.2.6-v1

With v2 and also v1 there is still a variety of things not quite working
out, among others:

- the type of fsync in file_operations in fs.h doesn't have the datasync
parm.

- block_fsync and file_fsync have the wrong type in fs.h

- struct buffer_head is not yet correctly defined in the patch.

At that point I gave up -- what do you recommend?
