Unfortunately the unplugging changes in Jen's block tree have trashed these patches to a degree that I'm not confident in my repair attempts. So I'll drop the fasio patches from -mm. Zach's observations regarding this code's reliance upon things at *current sounded pretty serious, so I expect we'd be seeing changes for that anyway? Plus Jens's unplugging changes add more reliance upon context inside *current, for the plugging and unplugging operations. I expect that the fsaio patches will need to be aware of the protocol which those proposed changes add.
