I'm resending these 10 patches, following Matthew Wilcoxs advice on kernel coding style. I broke down and used Andrew Morton's patch management scripts - very cool. I apologize for the resend...

The following patches provide an interface to the lease subsystem in the 
current VFS locking code.

The version 4 nfsd delegation implementation uses leases to co-ordinate 
behavior between local, samba, and nfs access.

The main design points are

	- Seperate the file_lock processing from the file descriptor processing in 
fcntl_setlease.
	- New non-file descriptor interface to setlease
	- Use new lock manager callbacks to allow nfsd to create, break, and release 
leases.
	- Provide default lock manager callbacks for fcntl_setlease
