Can we please consider doing this slightly slower (and avoiding conflicts/missed new uses etc) by creating a new i_op callback and only implementing this when necessary?
From past experience, I can just about guarantee that the patch as it is will cause conflicts (for me in linux-next if noone else) and a new use case will turn up before (or during) the next merge window.
