Lustre_mds.h is one of those dysfunctional headers used by client and server code. With the porting
of some patches and a little rearranging this file could go away.  I'm working out a plan for the pushing
of the patches and should have it ready in a few days. Basically a lot of work went into cleaning up
the CLIO client code since the performance was really bad from all the abstraction. You can read 
about it at https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-5880. That work needs very badly merged to  the
upstream client.
