Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ext4: Context support

From: Saugata Das <saugata.das@...aro.org>

On eMMC and UFS devices there is a new feature of setting context with
each read or write. The idea is to classify the data from different files
and apply the realibility on the complete file instead of individual writes.
On ext4 file system, the inode number of the file is passed as b_context
in the bh structure during write and via the get_context callback function
during read. Since number of MMC contexts is limited, multiple file system
contexts are mapped to single MMC context.
