Al, could you take a look and see if you have any objections?
Also, any thoughts about adding the new d_revalidate_name() callback
as opposed to change d_revalidate() to add an extra parameter? It
looks like there are some 33 d_revalidate callbacks, from 24 file
sysetms, that would have to be changed.
Cheers,
