Yep, that is how I was proceeding when working on the return name patch
with the xfs_vn_ci_lookup code.

So, it will be:
1 xfs_name
2 leafn refactor
3 nameops
4 ascii ci
5 unicode ci
6 nls

With NLS, it would be very nice if the Linux VFS or some layer above
always pushed UTF-8 strings down rather than handling it in the
filesystems that require it (there are about half a dozen at least
that I'm aware of).
