Sort of - there's an extra allocation failure case added (multiple
directory block size allocation failure), but otherwise is the same.

I'll rebase anyway - the code won't be ready for 3.1 because I
haven't yet started on the readahead optimisations that better
allocation allows. I also need to add dataspace truncation during
inactivation so that we don't leave blocks in the data space "beyond
EOF" that repair complains about on clean unmounts.
And FWIW, I think I now know enough about how this all works to be
able to implement online directory data space defragmentation now...
Cheers,
Dave.
