So, what's to be done about xfs_refcache.c... right now it's 2.4-only,

2.6, anyone know for sure?

We keep the inodes around through nfsd, yes. There's a slight problem with ->release beeing called to early, but Greg is working on fixing that using an open files cache in nfsd.

Cool I'll keep that in mind,

I'm going to remove support/Makefile which is 2.4 specific as well.
Are there any other 2.4 isms you guys know of?
