Thanks, I gave it a shot and the result looks good.  Feel free to my
tested-by tag:
  Tested-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>


Though, when I look around the code, I feel somehow uneasy by that
still MAY_XXX is used for nfs_access_entry.mask, e.g. in
nfs3_proc_access() or nfs4_proc_access().  Are these function OK
without the similar conversion?


thanks,

Takashi
