I wasnt sure if people were expecting a v2 for this one, but I
noticed the modified version of v1 was removed from the tree, so I
am assuming we needed v2?  This one handles marking the buffer dirty
before calling do split to avoid the null pointer.  It introduces a
little overhead, but the only other option would be to introduce a
new flag set to do_split.  But if there's any one that would prefer
the flags to this solution, please let me know.  Thx! :)
   The patch looks OK. Just please CC me next time - a) because ext3 needs a
similar fix (added now) and b) because I was involved with the previous
patch version. Thanks!

Sure, I just thought I would save people from the extra spam since it was already seen, but I will keep you cc'd next time. Thx!
