Its a PITA, is what it is.  Rob and I talked about defining a new  
PVFS_sys_create_layout function that would take a layout parameter,  
leaving PVFS_sys_create untouched.  If ROMIO is going to be one of  
the users of the layout structure, that may not make a lot of sense  
though, and it seems messy.  With the latest PVFS FUSE port, maybe  
there are more layers that have system interface deps, so we should  
consider the potential impact there as well.
