And btw, I didn't say from the beginning. I just want a comitment from the lustre folks that they're merging it so we can work out the rough edges together. There's not much of a problem doing the merge spread over a few kernel releases.

I think for mainline mostly the client, aka the llite directory would be interesting, so a linux box can simply join the lustre cluster. the metadata server and even worse the object storage box mods would require tons of work to get anywhere a mergeable shape and are less interesting anyway.
