[RFC] event cleanup, part 2

[Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 635 bytes --]

Linus merged the first part of my patches that remove
'event' into 2.5.2-pre3.

Attached is the second patch.

patch 1: remove all event users except readdir().
	Merged.

patch 2: replace 'f_version=++event' with 'f_version=0'
	in fs/*.c
	Attached.

patch 3: change the filesystems one by one.
	s/inode->i_version=++event/inode->i_version++/g
	vfat already uses that code for the revalidate
	handling. For readdir() it's impossible until
	step 2 is merged.

patch 4: remove event entirely.

I'm not yet sure if initializing i_version to 0 should be
done in get_empty_inode() or in the fs that use the
readdir optimization.
