I have commited following changes to the ext4 patch queue:

1. Updated ext4-fallocate-1-syscall_i386_amd64_ppc to add compat wrapper
   for x86_64/ia32. This addresses Heiko's concern that we did not have
   a wrapper for ia32.

2. Added a new patch ext4-fallocate-8-new-ondisk-format and updated
   the series file. This patch, as suggested by Andreas, will allow
   an initialized extent to be of max 2^15 length. Main purpose of this
   change is to have a better extent-to-group alignment.
   For uninitialized extents the max length remains same - i.e. 2^15 - 1.

Thanks!
