I have an alternate patch, which is in my current tree. It just always
writes back everything whenever some lock is changed (not just for
unlock), and always invalidates the caches.

I'm making a pre-2.1.131-2 patch right now, if Jamie can test that it
works for all his cases too that would be good.
