I heard this question from several people, and now I feel I should
have put nilfs outside the misc filesystem category.

Actually, nilfs is NOT a filesystem came from other operating system,
but a filesystem created purely for Linux.  Nor is it a flash
filesystem but that for generic block devices.

So, If nobody objects, I would like to queue a patch to move it
outside the misc category.  Anybody comments?

Thanks,
