The first two patches look good. However this one I'm still not so keen
on. I'd much prefer if we can avoid dropping the GBF_FULL support at
bitmap level if the new test is at rgrp level. It doesn't look like that
is too tricky to achieve either - all we need to do is to not remove the
GBF_FULL support since there doesn't appear to be any conflict between
the two mechanisms.

The net result is a diffstat that looks like this:

[root at chywoon linux-2.6]# diffstat -p1 ./patch3.diff 
 fs/gfs2/incore.h |    1 +
 fs/gfs2/lops.c   |    1 +
 fs/gfs2/rgrp.c   |   32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------
 3 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)

as opposed to your patch which looks like:

[root at chywoon linux-2.6]# diffstat -p1 ../bob-a-3.mbox 
 fs/gfs2/incore.h |    2 +-
 fs/gfs2/lops.c   |    2 +-
 fs/gfs2/rgrp.c   |   53 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------
 3 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-)

So there would be fewer changes overall. I've given this a quick spin,
and it hasn't broken yet, so let me know what you think,

Steve.
