Hi!

I've to admit I had no look at these patches yet.

> 3_0-vfs-core: Includes the core vfs interface changes.
>   1.) pass a vfs_handle_struct to each vfs operation
>   2.) store a function AND handle pointer for each operation
>        in the vfs_ops struct.
>   3.) access the vfs_ops operations through macros:
>        VFS_*, VFS_OPAQUE_*, VFS_NEXT_*
>   4.) remove 'vfs options' and 'vfs path' parameter

Sorry, but why is 'vfs path' removed? Seems I missed the reasoning for 
that in the discussion (the removal of 'vfs options' is clear to me).

Fine :-)

Yup.

Thanks.
