I'm happy either way.  I just want them to land eventually, so I can
tick them off my list.

The conversation with Al might result in a different fix for the
flip_close() problem, but I think that it is still more correct to call
filp_close(), because what loop is doing is a lot like closing a file
that it has been writing to.

Thanks,
