Hello.

I am very interested in EXT4's defrag capabilities.  I haven't been able 
to find much documentation on them or even a formal specification for 
them.  I was hoping to help nudge the process along by drafting the 
specification that I have been unable to find.

Please keep in mind that I am a newbie when it comes to kernel 
programming.  I may be way off on my assumptions or seriously 
misinformed, or perhaps you already have a plan and I was simply unable 
to find it.  Please do not hold it against me.  Also, I was hoping to be 
further along before posting.  However, people were starting to ask 
questions, so I figured it was better to post an incomplete draft and 
finish it out later.

Please let me know what you think of the draft thus far.  Thank you for 
your time.
