I've rebased the ext4 patch queue for 2.6.22-rc2, and moved the obvious bug fixes to the top of the queue. There's one patch which I missed (ext4-free-blocks-on-insert-extent-failure.patch) which is also a bug fixed, that should be moved up. It's true that some of the older patches are below fallocate in the queue, but they are still new features that probably shouldn't be pushed at this point. But yes, I agree that the bug fixes should be pushed to Linus before 2.6.22 ships.
