Im concentrating mainly in providing the API call first and if the interfaces are sane, we can go ahead and start using them in the rest of libext2fs and the user space programs. It also introduces the changes needed in order to for mke2fs to support larger that 32-bit blocknr devices. Bitmap dependencies are commented with "/* FIXME-64 */" to make them easy to find and replace with the new interface. -JRS
