dedup can cope with compression, too.

I didn't try ubuntu lts yet, but the v6 patch set can be well applied on
3.11-rc4.
To enable dedup, you need to
1) mount DEV /PATH_OF_MNT -o dedup (or -o dedup_bs=xxxK)
2) btrfs dedup register /PATH_OF_MNT
3) write your data now :)
Feel free to tell me if any questions, thanks.
