[PATCH 0/17] vnode/vfs and vnode/vfs operations removal

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>]

XFS has long carried around some baggage left from IRIX, and the vnodes
and vfs objects aswell as the associated operation vectors re probably
the worst, both in their impact in size aswell as in maintainability of
the code.  This patchset removes all this cruft, and allow at the same
time to do a more clear split between the generic and the linux-specific
parts of the current XFS codebase.

The patchseries allows for some quite nice reduction in size of both
the source an binary code:
