Having these arbitrary groups feels worse than just embedded structures
with the offset in the inode ops. Because with more such semi-generic
fields there will be combinatoric explosion.
In general the even better option would of course be to either eliminate
the fields (which I think is doable for quotas), or restructure their
users to be proper library code so the file systems directly pass the
expected structures. But both of these are a lot more work and I'm not
sure we'll get them done for all these.
