Hey hold on there buddy!  We may need to reactivate this code to fix some
performance issues.  I've acttually got this code working and proven that
it is one way to fix some of the NAS/NFS issues we have.

The little comment that reads "reference cache not needed for NFS in 2.6"
is wrong - we do need it or something like it.

Cool :)

I'm just trying to clean up any 2.4 build leftovers before things go
upstream for .25. Bear in mind that xfs_refcache.c is only present in
ptools/CVS, it was excluded for mainline when it wasn't needed for the
2.6 builds.
