Maybe keep this before asm/uaccess.h

should be marked static.

I don't really understand the comment.  But I think you'd be much
better off with having blkdev_fallocate as just a tiny wrapper that has
a switch for the supported modes, e.g.

	switch (mode) {
	case FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE | FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE:
		return blkdev_punch_hole();
	case FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE | FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE::
		return blkdev_zero_range();
	default:
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;
	}

and no need to export it either..
