In the future, it's really a lot easier to review these sorts of
patches if you break up the patch. Note how I sent my resize2fs
flex_bg patches as an example. Reviewing a huge megapatch is much
more difficult, and it makes patch conflicts more common and more
difficult to resolve.
I removed the DEVICE_ORDER support since I'm not entirely sure how
much we want support these Lustre-specific extensions, especially
since they require out-of-tree ABI extensions. The bit fields in
question haven't been reserved in the kernel, and I've been having
trouble finding the formal definition of these ABI extensions.
In any case, it looks like Lustre's e2fsprogs patches have hugely
modified filefrag, and so by accepting the bulk of this patch, it
should make things easier for you to maintain the Lustre-speciific
patches until we can figure out how we want ot deal with this bit of
your changes.
