Subject: [PATCH 0/2] afs: Miscellaneous fixes

Hi Marc,

Here are some fixes for afs, if you could look them over?

 (1) Fix the caching of preferred address of a fileserver.  By doing that, we
     stick with whatever address we get a response back from first rather then
     obeying any preferences set.

 (2) Fix an occasional FetchStatus-after-RemoveDir.  The FetchStatus then
     fails with VNOVNODE (equivalent to -ENOENT) that confuses parts of the
     driver that aren't expecting that.

The patches can be found here:

Thanks,
David
