These patches make it possible to share NFS superblocks between related
mounts, where "related" means on the same server and FSID. Inodes and dentries
will be shared where the NFS filehandles are the same (for example if two NFS3
files come from the same export but from different mounts, such as is not
uncommon with autofs on /home).

These patches also add local caching for network filesystems such as NFS and
AFS.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this in the upstream kernel... thanks for your continued work on this.

(Although I admit to not reviewing 100% of the code)
