Oops we're giving conflicting advice :)  I thought a test that
exercises blocks-past-eof-filling at various boundaries made
sense in general, even if the specific regression test is ext4-specific.

Seems like at least ocfs2/btrfs might benefit from the basic exercise,
so I was recommending that it be generic.

I don't think there is any other test that makes a point of
allocating X blocks past eof and then filling them exactly,
overwriting/extending past them, etc.  Seems like a good addition
in general.
