Hi Christoph, actually now that we are also planning to use this for
atomic writes, we are thinking to add a generic extsize ioctl 
test to check for:

1. Setting hint on empty file should pass
2. Setting hint on a file with delayed allocation data should fail
3. Setting hint on a file with allocated data should fail
4. Setting hint on a file which is truncated to size 0 after write should pass

So that should cover this for ext4 and xfs as well.

Sure I can do this.

Thanks for the review.
