The handling of extended timestamps in Ext4 is broken as can be seen in the
output of the test program attached below:

The values marked with asterisks are wrong.
The problem is that with a 64-bit time, in ext4_decode_extra_time() the
epoch value is just OR'd with the sign-extended time - which, if negative,
has all of the upper 32 bits set anyway. We need to add the epoch instead
of OR'ing it. In ext4_encode_extra_time(), the reverse operation needs to
take place as the 32-bit part of the number of seconds needs to be
subtracted from the 64-bit value before the epoch is shifted down.
Since the epoch is presumably unsigned, this has the slightly strange
effect of, for epochs > 0, putting the 0x80000000-0xffffffff range before
the 0x00000000-0x7fffffff range.
This affects all kernels from v2.6.23-rc1 onwards.
