It very well may make sense, but that's probably something the fs folks
should add after the fact.

Oh for sure, I deliberately didn't do the ext4/xfs folks just yet as I
want to iron out the main bits first. And hopefully get those sorted and
acked first, then move on to a separate xfs and ext4 set of patches. I
also did btrfs in the most recent version, but that'll be a separate
thing too. Just kept it as one big series for now with more limited
scope, so folks can actually test this if they want to, without needing
multiple series of patches.
