In this series I've collected the patches that prepare ext2 for BKL removal. It consist mostly of cleanups and additionally introduces a spinlock to protect some of the superblock's fields against concurrent access. I've addressed the feedback kindly provided by Ogawa-san by moving the ext2_write_super() out of ext2_setup_super(). These patches have been part of the BKL removal series that I have posted in November 2009 already. Since this is more than just removing the usage of the big lock I repost it separately for inclusion. This series, at least the last patch that includes the s_lock, needs to be merged before Frederics bkl-removal branch, if he merges the rest of my patches there.
