  * @num_gh: the number of structures

- * Figure out how big an impact this function has.  Either:
- * 1) Replace this code with code that calls gfs2_glock_prefetch()
- * 2) Forget async stuff and just call nq_m_sync()
- * 3) Leave it like it is
  *
  * Returns: 0 on success (all glocks acquired),
  *          errno on failure (no glocks acquired)
