This pull request includes a number of patches that didn't quite make
the cut last merge window while we addressed some outstanding issues
and review comments. It includes some new caching modes for those that
only want readahead caches and reworks how we do writeback caching so we
are not keeping extra references around which both causes performance problems
and uses lots of additional resources on the server.
It also includes a new flag to force disabling of xattrs which can also
cause major performance issues, particularly if the underlying filesystem
on the server doesn't support them.
Finally it adds a couple of additional mount options to better support
directio and enabling caches when the server doesn't support qid.version.
There was one late-breaking bug report that has also been included as its
own patch where I forgot to propagate an embarassing bit-logic fix to the
various variations of open. Since that was only added to for-next a week
ago, if you would like to not include it, I can include it in the first
round of fixes for -rc2.
