Actually, I will take one more try at this - when I first looked at Hongo Li's patches to do the conversion, it seemed like there were a few problems, and I didn't review fully. I realize now that although it was a different approach than I had been taking, perhaps it was on the right track after all. I'll try to evaluate that patch series more carefully and see if it solved the problems I am struggling with now. If it does, I'd be happy to work with you, Hongbo, to get this completed. Your series will take a bit of forward-porting, as the codebase has moved forward quite a lot since then. But I'll go back to an older kernel and evaluate the net result of your changes, since I have some custom mount-option-testing framework here, and see how things look.
