SubjectCODA credentials cache
Hi!

AFAICS the CODA credentials cache (coda_cache.c) could be used almost without
any changes by >all< filesystems with long-taking permisson lookup.

Example: ACL support for ext2!

So I suggest the following changes:

1. renaming coda_cache -> creds_cache

2. moving it from fs/coda/ to fs/

3. inserting a struct coda_cache* pointer into struct inode
- VFS' default is a NULL pointer
- coda, ext2-acl (more to follow) let it point into a struct coda_cache
inside inode->u.i_coda resp. inode->u.i_ext2

4. maybe: moving the creds cache lookup to the VFS altogether

Would a patch be accepted? Against which versions?
