[Pvfs2-users] latest CVS and linux kernel 2.6.26

[Phil Carns]

Thanks for the bug report Ryuta, and thanks for the fix Sumit.

I just committed a variation on your patch to trunk that uses a 
configure test for drop_inode and put_inode rather than a version number 
check.  That's mainly to protect against distribution maintainers that 
might backport this change to older versions.
