Given that Michael doesn't have commit access and hasn't AFAIK done
any vput() changes (I certain hope he hasn't), I guess you're talking
about my vput() changes (adding a proc argument).

I've run with them here for a week without any problem (under various
loads), and I'm waiting for Peter Wemm to test them under NFS.  If
they pass, I guess they might be safe enough to commit - I don't think
they should be able to cause heavy instability.  I don't claim to
understand all interactions in the FS area, though, so I feel slightly
uncomfortable...
