Yeah, I already have this in my queue too.  Noticed that we don't
need it because of i_mutex as suggested in the stack overflow thread,
but for the XFS ilock.

No need for the bracing:

	return block_write_begin(file, mapping, pos, len, flags | AOP_FLAG_NOFS,
				 pagep, fsdata, xfs_get_blocks);


And with my truncate rework in the vfs tree we'll get rejection galore in
linux-next, but Stephen has been pretty good at handling these..
