Hi Andrew,

Could you please consider these patches for -mm ? These patches
apply on 2.6.23-mm1 and are mostly a repost of earlier patches.

Patches 1 to 11 have been Acked by Christoph Hellwig.

Patch 12 is another instance where (vfsmnt, dentry) to path conversion
is possible.

Patch 13 is a patch which renames d_path to print_path and fixes
comments as suggested by Christoph.

Compile and boot tested on x86, x86_64 and powerpc.

Regards,
Bharata.
