Fine by me to make these changes - once upon a time I had a better
grip than most of when and how to use PAGE_CACHE_blah; but have long
lost it, and agree with all those who find the imaginary distinction
now a drag.

Just a plea, which I expect you already intend, to apply these changes
either just before 4.6-rc1 or just before 4.7-rc1 (I think I'd opt for
4.6-rc1 myself), without any interim of days or months in linux-next,
where a period of divergence would be quite tiresome.  Holding back
Kirill's 71/71 until the coast is clear just a little later.

Thanks,
Hugh
