Below is an updated version of the patch which moves duplicated
transaction-based file operation code into libfs.  Since the last post, the
patch has been through a couple of iterations with Al, who suggested a
number of cleanups including locking and interface simplification.

For filesystem writers, the interface is now much simpler.  The
simple_transaction_get() helper should be part of the file op write method.
 This safely obtains the transaction request data during write(), allocates
a page for it and stores it there.  The data is returned to the caller for
potential further processing, which then makes it available for the next
read() call via simple_transaction_set().  See the selinuxfs and nfsctl
code for examples of use.
