Again, I'm not a fan of (c) as an option, but if done, then the simplest model would appear to be:
- remove the old fscache code, obviously disabling the Kconfig for it for each filesystem, all in one fell swoop.
- add the new fscache code (possibly preferably in sane chunks that explains the parts).
- then do a "convert to new world order and enable" commit individually for each filesystem
but as mentioned, there's no sane way to bisect things, or have a sane development history in this kind of situation.
