Sorry, I've been pretty busy trying to fix some rather critical and
nasty ext4 bugs, and then getting things ready for the merge window.

I've dropped Akira's patch into unstable portion of the ext4 patch
queue for testing.  I want to take a closer look at the ABI, but I
agree it is much better.  If the ABI is good, I'm likely to try
merging it this merge window, on the grounds that any implementation
issues can be cleaned up later, since it is a relatively
self-contained patch.
