Lustre for 2.6 is functional, but not fully debugged, and has not yet
been updated to 2.6.0 final.  It lags behind the 2.4 port mainly because
we do not have a customer for this work.

I would estimate that about 80% of the Lustre code is the same between
2.4 and 2.6.  Most of the hard work is in cross-platform code, and will
not have to be redone.
