Thanks Michael, all of your changes in the git tree look good to me. I
parsed the one-way nature of LOCK_FILTER completely backwards from the
commit message.  It's describing BSD's root-modify behavior, not the
implementation in Linux.  I think I like this last paragraph as you
have it to explicitly call out this as intended behavior.

Thanks again,
Craig
