Thanks Amir.

Yeah, it's tricky.  Support was added and then dropped.   Since stable
kernels will be picking this patch,  maybe the best thing to do is to no
mention the generic cross-filesystem support at all...?  Or simply say
that 5.3 temporarily supported it but that support was later dropped.

Michael (or Alejandro), would you be OK handling this yourself as Amir
suggested?

Could you please provide a more detailed history of what is to be documented?

Thanks,

Alex
