A couple changes from the first xfs_reno:

 - Major one is that symlinks are now supported, but only
   owner, group and extended attributes are copied for them
   (not times or inode attributes).

 - Man page!


To make this better, ideally we need some form of
"swap inodes" function in the kernel, where the entire
contents of the inode themselves are swapped. This form
can handle any inode and without any of the dir/file/attr/etc
copy/swap mechanisms we have in xfs_reno.


If everything goes as planned I will have time next month to look at xfs_reno.
