I am asking that the patches will get applied. comments are always welcome.

I am looking for 2 types of code review:

1. check that the patch looks good in general and doesn't change
behavior when the snapshot feature is disabled.
that kind of review would approve that the patch may be applied to the
master branch.

2. check the behavior of the code when snapshot feature is enabled.
this requires the reviewer to acquire some knowledge about the design
of the snapshot feature.

That's not my call, but I do not think that would be necessary.
the next3 e2fsprogs patches are really small and are restricted to a
small number of files.
for that reason, it wasn't so hard for me to rebase them from the
maint branch to the master branch (64bit code).
there is some dependency among the patches, but most of them are small
and independent,
so they don't have to be applied all at once. I also verified that
every sub-series of the patches builds with no errors.

To put it in other words, any review, of any type, of any patch, would
be helpful.
Thanks,
Amir.
