Two notes:

1) you have 4 places with identical "if DCACHE_OP_REAL is there,
call ->d_real(dentry, ..., ...), otherwise return dentry".  And you have
exactly one place where d_real() wrapper is called.  Looks like we would
be better off with the calling conventions for wrapper updated as well.

2) while we can't turn dentry argument into const struct dentry * (due to
ovl_copy_up()), could we at least do that to the inode one?

IOW, how about this, on top of that branch?  Or fold it into the commit
changing the arguments of ->d_real(), for that matter...

Make the signature of d_real() match that of ->d_real() again.

... and constify the inode argument, while we are at it.
