Thanks. Since Al is fine with just doing a potential conversion to 'struct
file' as a handle on top of this series (it will be dumb Coccinelle
replacement) I think we can go ahead with the series as is. As you said
there will be some conflicts in btrfs and I've learned about f2fs conflicts
as well so I can rebase & repost the series on top of rc1 to make life
easier for you.
