Yes, those are in the tree already.  I had to adjust the patch #5
slightly so it would apply as a result.

I'll move it to the unstable part of the tree as a debugging patch,
pending the xfstests changes to make it easy to block things like the
on-deck INSERT_RANGE patchset.  (BTW, it would be great if the
xfstests changes for INSERT_RANGE had an easy way to disable
INSERT_RANGE with a single environment variable.)

The point is that otherwise, I can't let the INSERT_RANGE patches into
the dev branch until it's completely regression free, or else it
interferes the testing of other patches during the development cycle.
Of course, if there are still problems that aren't solved by the end
of the development cycle, I'll still drop the patches and hold them
for the next merge window.

Thanks,
