This code should just be removed entirely.  It is dangerous to use, and
by including it in e2fsprogs it lends a false sense of credibility to
the code.  Hopefully most of the functionality here has been incorporated
into debugfs?

OK.

Code compiled, booted and briefly tested on a 20TB device (mkfs, debugfs, e2fsck, dumpe2fs, filefrag tested) Some non-regression tests also done on ext3 filesystems when compiling code without _EXT4FS_ option.

Did you run the "make check" tests?  We've found these invaluable for
catching regressions.  Ideally there would also be some test cases
for this support using "lazy_bg", a script to generate the filesystem,
and conditional upon being able to create sparse files that big.

I missed to mention that some changes have to be done under tests/ too.
Without changes, "make check" fails.
