That code is old, and those filesystems are not in staging so we're not
going to change them.

Let's just apply the patch and not spend any time thinking about it.
Part of the point of style guidelines is so that we don't have to
repeat all these discussions over and over...

Btw, I have a rename_rev.pl patch for reviewing these.  I've attached
it.  rename_rev.pl -r NULL.  I've seen some people screw up the
conversion so having an automated review is nice.
