This beats the heck out of trying to squash 281 patches together just to re-order all the functionality.

I should have the tree down to 40-some patches by this weeks end. The resultant tree will be unchanged from the current pnfs-submit tree, and the last patch will be all the code that is either unused or has no effect.

That's even better :)
I'm back on my feet (metaphorically) now after the move
so I'm ready for your patches, feel free to throw them at me any time :)

There will be more work to do but we will be _much_ closer to a submission stream when I'm done. I think the first submission (this month) should be patches numbered 1-17 in the attachment which provides LAYOUTGET functionality.
