Hi,

Is it planned to add (some of) these features to JFS:

* fallocate(2)
https://github.com/kleikamp/linux-shaggy/blob/master/fs/jfs/file.c#L151

* 64 bit time type issue
https://github.com/kleikamp/linux-shaggy/blob/master/fs/jfs/jfs_types.h#L45

* DAX support
https://github.com/kleikamp/linux-shaggy/blob/master/Documentation/filesystems/dax.txt

These things seem to be the most missing in JFS (DAX for advanced users).

Best regards,
Daniel
