Experimental NFS client patches for Linux 2.5.3

Please note: the patches in this directory represent what I am currently using on my machine. They are experimental, and are made available only so that people can test out features that I plan for inclusion in the kernel in the future.

A brief explanation of the patches in this directory

linux-2.5.3-cto.dif:

A patch --initially by Chuck Lever, but now heavily changed by me-- which improves the NFS clients ability to cache lookups. This can make quite a difference to the performance of "make" and other such utilities.

linux-2.5.3-fix_put.dif:

A patch for fixing a problem of ETXTBSY errors popping up when running a file immediately after compilation.

linux-2.5.3-fix_mapping.dif:
linux-2.5.3-cred.dif:

Implement BSD-style credentials in the VFS
