It's not a thing which I want to be spending time on now. If someone wants to send me a complete, documented and well-tested patch then I can drop it in for testing, with a view to merge post-2.6.0. (I'm also not particularly happy about adding eight(sixteen) bytes to every inode just to speed up unmount. It's worth thinking about alternatives, although there are few).
