Thank you for the code - now I see what you meant and I like it,
however allow me a question:
Are you aware that XFS_IOLOCK_SHIFT, XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHIFT,
XFS_ILOCK_SHIFT are already defined with different values and used in
xfs_lock_inumorder()?

I have no trouble to investigate the code and see if it is OK i.g.
XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL to be 21 (I guess I should check that no bit arrays
are used to store the value, etc)

Or maybe I should just rewrite  the '#define XFS_IOLOCK_SHIFT
0' to something like '#define XFS_IOLOCK_TYPE_SHIFT        0' ?

Do you have any thoughts about that?

Thanks!
