SubjectRe: [PATCH 08/11] inode: convert per-sb inode list to a list_lru

Well, such things were suggested when the list_lru was first
proposed. Indeed, it even lived in lib/ because I saw it as widely
useful. But akpm didn't like it because of the "structure with
internal locking" architecture and thought it was too purpose
specific for generic use and so it got moved uot of lib/ into mm/
and here we are.

I don't care for how it's named, located or used - I just want to be
able to use the infrastructure it provides. As such renaming and
relocating it is not something I'm about to do in this specific
patchset....

Cheers,

Dave.
