Russell placed a smaller source patch in:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ftpdir/03312000linux-2.3.99pre2-linux-2.3-xfs.patch.gz

What to you mean by this?
We have implemented all of the file and inode ops in
xfs/linux/xfs_file.c, xfsZ_iops.c, xfs_super.c, ...

Are you saying that we should eliminate the linvfs layer
and just change the xfs_* routines? If we do eliminate
the linvfs layer we will need to somehow retain the
bhv_desc_t structures so that CXFS can fold in.
