I'd really like to see ->truncate and vmtruncate done, so from that side
I'm absolutely in favour of this series.  What I'm a bit concerned about
is that it just does the trivial 1:1 conversion and not actually
converts the sequence of operations to the proper form, which was one
of the two big reasons of moving away from ->truncate to start with.

I'd love to see the full conversion, but without adequate test coverage
for all the fringe filesystems that might be a bit too much to expect
from Marco.

I think just doing the easy conversions he did, and putting a TODO
comment explaining how it should be taken further at each of the sites
would be valueable on its own.
