Hello everyone,

A new spin of my DIO locking patches.  I've fixed a few bugs in patch 2,
and added a new patch to extend the file and fill holes without falling
back to buffered.

This was tested on top of Zach's DIO patches, but rediffed on top of
Linus' tree for sending (minor changes required).  I also tested on top
of 2.6.19-rc2-mm2, but my code for inserting/removing placeholders
stopped working right.  I think this is either a bug in my code or a bug
in Nick's RCU stuff, I'm still trying to track it down.
