	OK, preliminary patches are in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git/ expiry-fixes

BTW, cifs use of MNT_SHRINKABLE is broken; it updates mnt_flags on
*mountpoint* instead of just having them set on new vfsmount.
Their expiry policy is also very odd - "expire everything cifs
whenever some cifs filesystem is unmounted".  Hell knows what had
been intended there (dfs_shrink_umount_helper() and friends)...
