So reading the code here does serve to answer the question I raised against
the earlier patch. A bit.
I'd have thought that this patch and the one which adds i_version_hi should
be folded into a single diff?

I don't quite see how the above two tests are sufficient to unambiguously
determine that the i_version_hi field is present on-disk.
I guess we're implicitly assuming that if the on-disk inode is big enough
then it _must_ have i_version_hi in there? If so, why is the comparison
with EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE needed?
Some description of the overall approach to inode version identification
would be helpful here.

There's no comparison with EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE here...
