Hi,

This is a resync of the new aops patches to 2.6.22-rc2-mm1

Only one more conversion broken this time, so we're doing OK. AFFS
compile is broken due to cont_prepare_write disappearing, and me not
bringing the conversion patch uptodate (which I won't do again until
something happens with this patchset -- its only affs!). Reiser4
broken because it lost filemap_copy_from_user (it's deadlocky as
well, yay!).

Still unfortunately missing the OCFS2 and GFS2 conversions, which
allowed us to remove a lot of code -- I won't ask the maintainers to
redo them either until the patchset gets somewhere.

Highlight of this release is the reiserfs conversion, and the removal
of the reiserfs-specific generic_cont_expand helper. Also fixed a bug
in my pagecache directory conversions.

Please merge?
