Couple things:

1: I'd like to see the lustre #include files separated into
   only two internal/external directories akin to the
   include/linux and include/uapi directories used by linux.

   Is this a reasonable thing?

and

2: James, you seem to aggregate a lot of lustre patches and
   yet you are not a listed maintainer.  Should you be?
