Greg: you seemed to suggest that there was already code in XFS that
could make use of this.  If that is so: could you point us to it

Alternately, if this will only be used by future patches, please feel
free to add this patch to that set, and add

  Acked-By: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

to it.

Thanks,
