Thanks!

The first three fields of each are the same, the rest is:

	struct nfs4_openowner {
		...
		pointer
		time_t
		unsigned char
	}

	struct nfs4_lockowner {
		...
		struct list_head
	}

Is it always true that

	sizeof(struct nfs4_openowner) >= sizeof9struct nfs4_lockowner)

?  I think so, in which case this isn't urgent.... Applying for 3.8.
