Oh, yes please. This will enable us to get rid of the remaining
mrlock rwsem abstraction we've carried since the days of Irix in
XFS. The only reason the abstraction still exists is that we track
write locks for the purposes of checking for correct inode locking
contexts via ASSERT(xfs_isilocked()) calls....
Cheers,
Dave.
