I just wanted fallocate() but it feels like I opened pandora's box. :)
I looked through everything but I don't think I can review really as
I'm just a tinkerer.
The patch for x32 does fix passing through the top 32 bits of the
arguments for fallocate() (Which I was sure was working for some
reason).

Thank you for the hard work!

Cheers,

Daniel
