So I'm thinking how to best merge this. There are some ext4 patches which are not trivial (mainly "ext4: Refactor direct IO code"). These can go in as far as I'm concerned but there is a potential for conflicts in ext4 tree and I'd definitely want to give them full test run in the ext4 tree. The best what I can think of is to pull ext4 related changes into a stable branch in ext4 tree and then pull that branch into nvdimm tree. Ted, what do you think? If you agree, I can separate the patches into three parts - one for ext4 tree, stable patches for nvdimm tree, and then remaining patches.
