The proposal we agreed upon was for the 'truly' fixed
interface (e.g. also fixing the point 4 you mentioned), which 
would probably go into 3.1. Also that
we shouldn't make any changes in the current interface for 3.0, but I'm not
really sure whether your current patch is the right way to get VFS 
correct for 3.0.

Let's discuss this some more - I'll send some more comments after I've
looked at your lp_param patches :-)
