This is for 2.6.23 only, right?  Once your testing is complete, please send
me a patch and I'll add it to the next release.  Actually, I think it would
be cleaner if unionfs simply calls mapping_nrpages() unconditionally.  Then,
in union.h, I can have a compatibility #ifdef; this way the main code stays
cleaner w/o so many ifdefs.

Cheers,
Erez.
