I applied the patch to the today 6-STABLE and now testing it
on the (relatively slow, k6/266Mhz) machine, by cvs-ing the
sources and building the world. Kernel config is custom (see below
issue #2), I added DEBUG_* and WITNESS* options from your patch.
Config does not include QUOTAS.

1. The patch breaks the kernel ABI, even for the case when DEBUG_VFS_LOCK
is not defined. This is due to changes inside struct mount, adding mnt_ref
and rearranging several existing fields. This issue shall be at least
mentioned in release notes.

2. I built custom kernel with "options MAC". After some fs activity, I got
the LOR:

Up to the moment
(uptime 11:09AM  up  1:24, 1 user, load averages: 1.32, 1.56, 1.56)
everything else seems to be okey.
