[RFC] f_maxcount seems to be deprecated ?

Hi Andrew

Considering :

[root@dada1 linux-2.6.13-rc6]# find .|xargs grep f_maxcount
./fs/file_table.c:      f->f_maxcount = INT_MAX;
./fs/read_write.c:      if (unlikely(count > file->f_maxcount))
./include/linux/fs.h:   size_t                  f_maxcount;


I was wondering if f_maxcount has a real use these days...
