Hi Al,

After merging the vfs tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

fs/cifs/cifsfs.c:498: error: unknown field 'clear_inode' specified in 
initializer

Caused by commit 139f224817a203ff434eda5e6d3f457bc1579f27 ("cifs: define
inode-level cache object and register them") from the cifs tree
interacting with commit a8036d5aec0547a2bd7e3040c69bd172e474d860
("convert remaining ->clear_inode() to ->evict_inode()") from the vfs
tree.

I added the following merge fix patch (by effectively copy and paste from
some of the other file system fixups in the vfs commit).  I have no idea
if this is correct - someone should check.  I can carry this patch as
necessary.
