Al is back in action.  Anyway, the point stands, this is VFS material
and you should formally submit the bits to the maintainer.  Note that
there is very little fs specific material left, with Hirofumi beeing
at least not overly exited by fat patches for now, and the only real
ext4 patch going away with Jan's series to make it use the generic
page_mkwrite code.
