In a future patch, we're going to split file leases into their own
structure. Since a lot of the underlying machinery uses the same fields
move those into a new file_lock_core, and embed that inside struct
file_lock.

If I we doing this, I would rename all the fields in file_lock_core to
have an "flc_" prefix, and add some #defines like

 #define fl_list fl_core.flc_list

so there would be no need to squash this with later patches to achieve
bisectability.

The #defines would be removed after the coccinelle scripts etc are
applied.

I would also do the "convert some internal functions" patches *before*
the bulk conversion of fl_foo to fl_code.flc_foo so that those functions
don't get patched twice.

But this is all personal preference.  If you prefer your approach,
please leave it that way.  The only clear benefit of my approach is that
you don't need to squash patches together, and that is probably not a
big deal.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

I considered going back and doing that. It would allow me to break this
up into smaller patches, but I think that basically means doing all of
this work over again. I'll probably stick with this approach, unless I
end up needing to respin for other reasons.
