So, I tried a

	cvs co -r pnfs-2-6-18-3-largeio-clientid pnfs

but what I got had versions of fs/nfs/pnfs.c, for example.  So it
doesn't appear to be the pre-nfs-patch code.

If someone can figure out how to us cvs to split up the current big

	2.6.18.3 -- > pnfs

patch into

	2.6.18.3 --> 2.6.18.3-largeio-clientid --> pnfs

and send me the two patches that result, that's great, otherwise I'm
just giving up, going with the one big patch, and then manually dealing
later with the fact that it has some non-pnfs stuff mixed in later.
