Actually not - I have to set reference counter to something other than 1
or +/- 1, and thus will have to call kref_get() in a loop, which is a
very ugly step. Is there kref_set() or somethinglike that? At least not
in 2.6.22 what I'm using for now.

Yeah, a loop would look pretty ugly. How about just adding kref_set(),
if you need it.

Well, then it distributed storage will not be able to build as
standalone module, and kref_set() itself will not be accepted as a single 
patch, since there are no in-kernel users :)
It is easily doable though.

Most rules have exceptions. :) Send a patch, so we can see how it looks
like.

It looks really non-trivial :)

Yeah, it does. :)
We miss an EXPORT_SYMBOL(), right?
