[Fedora 14 with vendor kernel 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE]
When nanosecond timestamp resolution isn't supported on an ext4
partition (inode size = 128), stat() appears to be returning
uninitialized garbage in the nanosecond component of timestamps.
See the following tests.
Expected: All timestamps should end with '.0000000000'.
Actual: '.0026721629' popping up on a different file each time.

Shouldn't EXT4_INODE_GET_XTIME zero out tv_nsec when EXT4_FITS_IN_INODE
evaluates to false...?
