Based on that.  I had dropped the inode operation as it's not really
a generic operation but a callback for either the buffered I/O code
or direct I/O and should be treated as such.  I've also split the
single multiplexer function into individual ones, but the underlying
data structure and fundamental operations are the same.

Your version defintively was up on your kernel.org XFS tree, that's what
I started from.

I'll have a long plane right tonight, let's see if I can get the direct
I/O version updated.
