OK, I just noticed that in the meantime many vfs_*() are present now
which were missing when I started the project on very old kernels (or
maybe I missed something, sorry for any potential mistakes).

So I will happily make a new version which has the lowest possible
footprint in the kernel, but nevertheless is _internally_ portable (just
for me and the needs of 1&1 users).

This will incur many changes in many places in the patchset. Is it OK to
re-submit the _whole_ patchset again after that?

I will have to re-run the full testsuite on the new version in order to
be sure that no bad things happen, so this will take at least 24h (if
not several days).

Cheers,

Thomas
