    ext4: Support case-insensitive file name lookups

Has anyone just tried it?  It might just work.  To create a
case-folded directory:

# mke2fs -Fq -t ext4 -O casefold /dev/vdc
# mount /dev/vdc /vdc
# mkdir /vdc/casefold
# chattr +F /vdc/casefold
# cp /etc/issue /vdc/casefold/MaDNeSS
# cat /vdc/casefold/madness

Then export the directory and mount it via NFS, and let us know how it
goes.  I'm currently on a cruise ship so it's a bit harder for me to
do the experiment myself.  :-)
