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

FS-Cache now runs fully asynchronously as required by Trond Myklebust for NFS.

Changes:

 (*) The CacheFiles module no longer accepts directory fds in its cull and
     inuse commands from cachefilesd.  Instead it uses the current working
     directory of the calling process as the basis for looking up the object.
     Corollary to this, fget_light() no longer needs to be exported.

A tarball of the patches is available at:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/patches/nfs+fscache-21.tar.bz2


To use this version of CacheFiles, the cachefilesd-0.9 is also required.  It
is available as an SRPM:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.9-1.fc7.src.rpm

Or as individual bits:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.9.tar.bz2
	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.fc
	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.if
	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.te
	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.spec

The .fc, .if and .te files are for manipulating SELinux.
