    Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
     "New features include:
       - Rewrite the O_DIRECT code so that it can share the same coalescing
         and pNFS functionality as the page cache code.
       - Allow the server to provide hints as to when we should use pNFS,
         and when it is more efficient to read and write through the
         metadata server.
       - NFS cache consistency updates:
         * Use the ctime to emulate a change attribute for NFSv2/v3 so that
           all NFS versions can share the same cache management code.
         * New cache management code will only look at the change attribute
           and size attribute when deciding whether or not our cached data
           is still valid or not.
         * Don't request NFSv4 post-op attributes on writes in cases such as
           O_DIRECT, where we don't care about data cache consistency, or
           when we have a write delegation, and know that our cache is still
           consistent.
         * Don't request NFSv4 post-op attributes on operations such as
           COMMIT, where there are no expected metadata updates.
         * Don't request NFSv4 directory post-op attributes in cases where
           the operations themselves already return change attribute
           updates: i.e. operations such as OPEN, CREATE, REMOVE, LINK and
           RENAME.
       - Speed up 'ls' and friends by using READDIR rather than READDIRPLUS
         if we detect no attempts to lookup filenames.
       - Improve the code sharing between NFSv2/v3 and v4 mounts
       - NFSv4.1 state management efficiency improvements
       - More patches in preparation for NFSv4/v4.1 migration functionality."
    
    Fix trivial conflict in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c that was due to the dcache
    qstr name initialization changes (that made the length/hash a 64-bit
    union)
