dirnot.diff requires killfasync.diff to be applied first, but it's not
relevant to understanding the patches.  I just split the patches up by
hand, there may well be duplicated pieces or poor line numbering.  As I
suspect the lock-rewrite patch is by far the biggest chunk; it includes
the leases.  Trond, I haven't fixed any of the problems you noticed yet,
you needn't bother looking.
