The hole vs data part of it looks reasonable.  The whole ADH complex
looks a little fishy to me, but I will have to dig deeper into before
writing down a detailed critism.

But one very obvious question already comes up:  what data is supposed
to be returned when a client that doesn't suport 4.2 at all are doesn't
support ADHs reads a file that contains them.  From a quick glance it
seems a mapping from ADHs to flat blocks is possible, but such a mapping
should be specified in the standard.

Do you remember any arguments for it?  Also any rational for adding the
plain old data write to it?
