Umm... I'd add a comment along the lines of "struct file_lock has
a BS union by fs type; NFS side of things needs nfs_fs_i.h"

Probably take fl_owner_t to some more neutral header...

Why do we still have that one, anyway?  Separate patch, obviously,
but I would take Occam's Razor to that entity...

If anything, that would be better off as fl_owner_t...  Again, a separate
patch.
