I want to know people's thought of spinning out patches 3-11 of this 
patch series as the making the d_count() helper the standard way of 
accessing the reference count in dentry outside of dcache.c and namei.c 
should be non-controversial. By merging it first, this will make 
revising this patch series easier and involving less people.
