Please don't send multiple patches under the same Subject:. Please try to
choose nice names for each email, as per
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt, thanks.

It's best to not refer to an email thread in this manner - the covering
description for a patch should be a self-contained standalone thing which
contains all necessary info to understand the patch.
Could you remind us what problems this patch series solves? It _appears_
to solve statfs reporting. Does it fix anything else? There have been a
couple of reports of filesystems outright failing on >2TB devices - does it
address those problems, if so how?

Seems reasonable.
