Here is a revised version of dirent scan patch, mentioned at
following E-mail.
This patch addresses performance damages on "ls | xargs xxx" and
reverse order scan which are reported to the previous patch.
With this patch, fat_search_long() and fat_scan() use hint value
as start of scan. For each directory holds multiple hint value entries.
The entry would be selected by hash value based on scan target name and
PID. Hint value would be calculated based on the entry previously found
entry, so that the hint can cover backward neighborhood.
This patch is for 2.6.12, because I tested it at the last weekend...

This patch enables using hint nformation on scanning dir.
It reaches excelent performance with "ls -l" for over 1000 entries.
