Dave, would you be willing to share these patches with me, even if they are
just RFC?  I'm working through how to add equivalent support in both ext2 and
ext4, and a conceptual example in XFS would be really helpful.

Eric and Jan, if you guys have any spare cycles to help with the ext2/ext4
bits, I certainly wouldn't say no.  :)
