I want to convert exofs. do you want that I call inode_setattr clearing
ATTR_SIZE bit, and at second stage remove the clearing and rename inode_setattr
to something else?

When it's time to convert exofs, tel me I'll do it. I have dependent work
on top of that, and I want to cleanup the delete_inode as well as some other
leftovers.

(BTW For none-buffer-heads systems like exofs the new way makes lots of sense)

Thanks
