Yes, I admit I was thinking as I pressed send about just how much stuff 
would be going into pre1 and wondering if it should be broken into pre1, 
pre2, and pre3.

Probably the journal relocation stuff, being the most tested in 2.5 (do 
any reiserfs users use it in 2.5 though?), should go into pre3.

The bitmap code and the file write code should go into pre1, along with 
the cleanups.

Feel free to suggest different orderings, though maybe we should only 
think about this when it is time for it....
