For ext4 something like e2fsprogs does is probably ok:

static __u64 e2p_free_blocks_count(struct ext2_super_block *super)
{
        return super->s_free_blocks_count |
                (ext2fs_has_feature_64bit(super) ?
                (__u64) super->s_free_blocks_hi << 32 : 0);
}

though I wonder if a little documentation on the intent of the flag is
in order; ext4 can return "df" in different ways (see the minixdf and
bsddf mount options.)

I think best effort seems fine here, and reporting the same number
as the ext4 utilities do should be fine.

As for btrfs - I'm really not sure what this should return on a
multi-device filesystem?
