Ie something like the below (which is totally untested, obviously, but I 
think conceptually is a lot more correct, and obviously a lot simpler).
I've tested it, and thought more about it, and I can't see any fault with
the approach. In fact, I like it more. So it's checked in now (in a
further simplified way, since the thing made "lookup_write" always be the
same as just "write").

Can somebody who saw the problem in the first place please verify?
Unfortunately, I can not get the user test to run against anything but the
SLES9 SP2 kernel.  I took the commit 4ceb5db9757aaeadcf8fbbf97d76bd42aa4df0d6
and applied that diff to the SUSE kernel.  It does fix the problem the
customer reported.

Thanks,
Robin Holt
