The patchset is structured such that the first few patches disable fscache
use by the network filesystems using it, remove the cachefiles driver
entirely and as much of the fscache driver as can be got away with without
causing build failures in the network filesystems.  The patches after that
recreate fscache and then cachefiles, attempting to add the pieces in a
logical order.  Finally, the filesystems are reenabled and then the very
last patch changes the documentation.
Thanks, this all looks conceptually sane to me.

But I only really scanned the commit messages, not the actual new
code. That obviously needs all the usual testing and feedback from the
users of this all..
