I have some test exposure on the first one, but not on the second.  I'd rather
have a known performance regression in 3.5 than start popping stacks again this
late toward the end of the rc cycle.  I suggest that #2 go in for the 3.6 merge
window and back to 3.5 via -stable.  Any other opinions?

I'll feel better about if after some testing, so I'll get tests running asap.
What testing have you and Mel done?

IMO we should also consider "xfs: prevent recursion in xfs_buf_iorequest", from
Christoph.
