It's not clear why these were sent. The first 25 patches are, as far as I can tell, already in Trond's tree. Whether Trond has the correct versions of these is now anybody's guess... "[PATCH 26/30] NFS: Use local caching" appears to be the first patch which isn't in Trond's tree, but it doesn't work due to significant changes in nfs_clear_inode().
