I applied this series and the patch that addresses the generic/133
O_DIRECT regression to stock 3.19.0.

I tested using xfstests with NFSv3 and NFSv4.0, Solaris 11 update 2
and Linux 3.19 servers. No new test failures (between 2 and 4
failures out of 55 tests run, which is typical).

I also used dbench and fio to look for performance regressions.
No regression found so far.
