The series all looks pretty good, ends up being quite a lot cleaner
in the core code.

This last patch is a question of a bit of churn and duplicated code
with the result of cleaner core code, and more explicitly putting
vmtruncate in the hands of the fs maintainers.

I have a bunch of fs conversions (several from you) I was going to
send to maintainers, they'll clash a bit. I'll see what ends up being
merged in 2.6.35 and try to fix up what I've got.
