Problem Details: The ptep_establish macro is only used on user-level PTEs, for P->P mapping changes.

Problem Details: This is the patch the three previous ones have been leading up to. It changes the behavior of ReiserFS from loading and caching all the bitmaps as special, to treating the bitmaps like any other bit of metadata and just letting the system-wide caches figure out what to hang on to. Buffer heads are al...

Problem Details: This patch moves the bitmap loading code from super.c to bitmap.c The code is also restructured somewhat.
