Great. I'll remove the calls for ext3/ext4 when I'll submit the
second version of the patch.

FYI, I have the following patch my ext4 tree, so I could do more
intensive testing.  I'll let folks know if anything goes horribly
wrong, but I'm pretty sure this should be safe.

Yeah, I'm agree. It should be safe.

Subject: [PATCH] ext4: drop lock_super()/unlock_super()

We don't need lock_super()/unlock_super() any more, since the places
where it is used, we are protected by the s_umount r/w semaphore.

I think the patches will go via Al's tree so if Al is agree I'll submit the patches without modify ext4 at this point. Al, let me know if we want to proceed in a different way.
