2.6.0-test6-mm2

[Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>]

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test6/2.6.0-test6-mm2/

. A large series of VFS patches from Al Viro which replace usage of
  file->f_dentry->d_inode->i_mapping with the new file->f_mapping.

  This is mainly so we can get disk hot removal right.

. More work on the O_DIRECT-vs-buffered data coherency problem.  It's
  still not quite there.
