Trond, I've been unable to get in touch with Al to get him to ACK this.
I'm guessing he's busy getting patches together for the merge window. 

I propose we do this instead:

I'll respin the patch such that sb->s_d_op is set to
rpc_dentry_operations, and we'll just keep those for now. Then, I can
propose a patch later to export simple_dentry_operations and convert
rpc_pipefs to use that afterward (probably for 3.12).

I'll post the respin after I've done a bit of testing...
