Yeah, though most of the work is focussed on trying to get FS-Cache and
CacheFiles upstream, a target that is proving somewhat elusive.

The patches have moved on since then.  The rate of change of the kernel is
very high, and cachefiles touches a wide array of things.

It should hopefully be possible to backport it to RHEL-5, though I'm not sure
as the security stuff has to change quite a lot, and there's a no-kABI-breakage
policy.  It won't backport to RHEL-4 because of the NFS changes required.
