I'll try and take a look at these as soon as I can, hopefully tonight
but I'm not sure since it is a holiday today and I'm backing up in my
regular work already...

Thanks for posting that one.

This one should also be sent upstream to see if we can get it accepted
before we depend on it in our patches.

I suspect we should put this patch after the next three in the series,
since we can't really use such a large filesystem until we get the 48-bit
support and large JBD patch as well.
