Actually, I'd cheerfully rebased that sucker (to e.g. write_inode2); it has
grown a trivial conflict with mainline after one of gfs2 merges and it's
annoying to fix it up after each for-next rebase.

So I'd rather put a rebased variant and switched the for-next to using that,
if people who'd pulled it already are OK with that.
