FWIW, I've ported several cleanups + short read/write on error + lseek
fixes + orangefs_superblocks locking fixes on top of that branch and pushed
into vfs.git#orangefs-untested.

I think it can be merged this cycle; if the fixes above really work, this
+ Martin's latest should leave only the handling of allocation failures in
debugfs-related code.

Linus, would you be OK with that thing going into -rc2?  It's self-contained
and I think it's in reasonably sane shape.  If not for the last locking fixes,
I would even suggest -rc1 with fixups of debugfs issues during the next week,
but that last commit got no testing whatsoever... ;-/

I would prefer if pull request went from Mike, once he's OK with the whole
set, but as far as I'm concerned the material in his #for-next + my pile above
+ Martin's branch (getattr fixes) should be OK for mainline merge.
