I recently gave Kernel 3.2 a chance to see if the fcntl lease semantics 
have improved after Bruce's recent changes.
But especially downgrading still does not work as Samba would require 
it: to downgrade from write lease to read lease requires that the fd is 
open in R/O mode. Samba however might have the fd open in R/W mode and 
so the downgrade fails.
