Subject: [PATCH 0/3 V2] ext2fsprogs: Symlink support

The following series adds symlink support the libext2fs and adds the command to
debugfs. Basic testing demonstrates functional duplication of a small test
directory including fastlinks and slowlinks in both the root and a single
subdirectory.

There is one FIXME/question remaining in the symlink implementation regarding
the use of ext2fs_bmap2 where I would particularly welcome some review. I found
the various block creation, allocation, and bitmap functions to be rather
difficult to grok in terms of which to use when.

Otherwise, I believe I have addressed Ted's and Darrick's comments from the
previous RFC.

Thanks,

Darren Hart
