(x86_64 would need a different syscall number) [snip test program] Just a thought - can you write a set of tests using this (or similar) test program and integrate them into xfstests? That will help ensure correctness when implementing the API in other filesystems (e.g. XFS ;), as well as provide some level of assurance that we'll notice when we break the code...
