Ah, sorry, I forgot to mention that this patch bases against ext4/master
branch.  Now ext4/dev branch has some regression when I run xfstests.
So I don't base against this branch to generate my patch.

Ted, I notice that now in ext4 tree we have 'dev', 'dev-with-revert',
and 'dev2' branches.  Which one is the best to generate a new patch for
the next merge window?
