I _really_ want fscache to come with way more Acked-by's etc. 

So no, I'm not going to pull this. I want a lot more than just

	Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

on the 100+ lines of changes to the VM. I want the VM people pinged and 
asked whether it's ok.

And I also have a stupid trivial complaint:

WTF is up with absolutely inane crap like this:

What the hell is that "cf-" and "fsc-" prefix? We don't do single-level 
naming crud. It's already in a directory hierarchy, why the _hell_ does it 
then add some idiotic extra prefix that is just a (very inferior) copy of 
that hierarchy?

If you want to write "fscache", write it out. Don't do "fsc". And do it as 
a directory. But then even an idiot would see that calling it 
fs/fscache/fscache/proc.c is a bit redundant. So why do you call it 
fs/fscache/fsc-proc.c?

Gaah. Naming is a bid deal for me, and the above is just crap.
