Actually, hold on. The original patch had another problem: it returned an
uninitialized "page" pointer when page_getlink() failed.

This one should have that fixed, and has converted a few other 
filesystems. Most of them trivially, but I took the opportunity to just 
simplify NFS while I was at it, since it now has no reason to need to save 
off the "struct page *" any more.

It's still not tested, but at least I've looked at it a bit more ;)
