Hi Ulrich,
One comment and one question:
Comment: If you can, you should really update ino_t to 64 bits; the 2.5
kernel will probably need a 64-bit ino_t due to NFS v3/v4, XFS, and other
filesystems with large inode numbers.
Question: Are you using the thread pointer yet on i386? If not, you may
want to consider using %fs instead of %gs; the x86-64 architecture will
have a slight assymetry between %fs and %gs, and %gs will probably be
unavailable to user space.
