I have some early patches which do this very same thing albeit for a
different reason. I was looking to create a proper ->nopage() operation
for hugetlbfs and quarantine fs things (inodes included) to
fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c. The added advantage is hugetlb_[get/put]_quota()
calls could also be isolated to fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c. Unfortunately
this was all held up by Nick Piggin's awesome ->fault() work. Speaking
of which, could we just use VM_FAULT_RETRY semantics to handle the
i_size check that patch in the parent email removes? [ Obviously not
for 2.6.19 :-) ]
