So I'm thinking one way to split this up is to add an internal sb flag for *if* a fs has support for this, and if so then we use the generic fs freezer solution. I'm not however too keen on the idea of mix and matching filesystems on top of each other with different solutions, *but* if this makes it easier for review / integration - it may be worth it.
