OK. The total diffstat is large enough that it's going to be a very
hard sell to include. I'll try, but it'll be hard. There is a test
kernel available at my site below. I haven't even gotten around to
testing it myself yet, I fired off the build last night and it was done
when I came in this morning. Anyone interested is free to play with it.
Of note is that both ipath and ipoib modules required minor tweaks to
work with the inode-diet patch set which could effect their operation (I
suspect the patch is correct, but haven't tested it).
