Subject: Re: VFS scalability git tree

I might sound like a broken record, but if you want to make forward
progress with this split it into smaller series.

What would be useful for example would be one series each to split
the global inode_lock and dcache_lock, without introducing all the
fancy new locking primitives, per-bucket locks and lru schemes for
a start.
