The more work may turn out being too much for you (although it is nothing
exactly tricky that would introduce subtle bugs, it is a fair amont of
churn).
OK, so does that mean we can finally get the block_page_mkwrite
patches merged?
i.e.:

I've got up-to-date versions of them ready to go and they've been
consistently tested thanks to the XFSQA test I wrote for the bug
that it fixes. I've been holding them out-of-tree for months now
because ->fault was supposed to supercede this interface.....
Yeah, as I've said, don't hold them back because of me. They are
relatively simple enough that I don't see why they couldn't be
merged in this window.
