I was planning on only taking 8/8 through the ext4 tree.  I also added
a patch which filtered writes, truncates, and page_mkwrites (but not
mmap) for immutable files at the ext4 level.

I *could* take this patch through the mm/fs tree, but I wasn't sure
what your plans were for the rest of the patch series, and it seemed
like it hadn't gotten much review/attention from other fs or mm folks
(well, I guess Brian Foster weighed in).

What do you think?
