What exactly?  I saw some softlookup in 042, but when applying Dave's
xfs_sync_inodeS_ag fix (or the hal of it applying without the del inodes
tracking in the radix tree) it goes away.

3-6 are small bug fixes and should go in ASAP.  I'd really like to see 1
and 2 and volunter to help sorting out any fallout.  Not entirely sure
about the AIL patches - they seem ready but at least they don't have
much impact on everything else.   So if you really want to reduce the
amount of patches those would be the ones.
