This set of patches attempts to simplify the mapping of 9P fids to Linux VFS.
The resulting simplification fixes several bugzilla bug-reports with no loss in
functionality for current file systems. Its a pretty major change, but it has
passed all of our regressions, so its up to you guys whether or not you want to
accept this into 2.6.16 or wait for the 2.6.17 window to open up. For what its
worth, systems seem to be more stable with it than without it.

For things like recently-merged filesystems I'm inclined to fast-track
fixes regardless of what stage we're at.
(I''d have merged them today if these messages had landed in my inbox, but
for some reason they did not. Another good reason for cc'ing the mailing
list.)
