Subject[patch 18/29] VFS: increase pseudo-filesystem block size to PAGE_SIZE
2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us 
know.

------------------
From: Alex Nixon <alex.nixon@citrix.com>

commit 3971e1a917548977cff71418a7c3575ffbc9571f upstream

This commit:

commit ba52de123d454b57369f291348266d86f4b35070
Author: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Date: Wed Sep 27 01:50:49 2006 -0700

[PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure

caused the block size used by pseudo-filesystems to decrease from
PAGE_SIZE to 1024 leading to a doubling of the number of context switches
during a kernbench run.
