*rechecks*
I have Cc'd you on this:

one non-trivial in ext4 that I've dealt with by merging a piece of ext4
branch up to the relevant point. As long as ext4.git#dev isn't rebased,
everything should remain fine, when/if it does I'll just redo that merge.
BTW, ext4 side of that thing is *still* not quite right - playing with
rlimit allows one to smuggle an unaligned write past that check...

I'll rebase that thing...
