[RFC v2 0/6] ext4: Implement support for extsize hints

[Ojaswin Mujoo <ojaswin@linux.ibm.com>]

** Changes since rfc v1 [1] **

1. Allocations beyond EOF also respect extsize hint however we 
   unlink XFS, we don't trim the blocks allocated beyond EOF due
   to extsize hints. The reasoning behind this is explained in 
   patch 6/6.

2. Minor fixes in extsize ioctl handling logic.

Rest of the design detials can be in individual patches as well as
the original cover leter which can be found here:

Further, xfsprogs changes to enable extsize get/set for ext4 can be
found here:

Comments and suggestions are welcome!
