Oh crud, I'm really sorry.  I originally had the patch embedded
in a reply, and it did say "not tested" and was more of a "what do
you think about this" - then I elevated it to its own mail in the
thread and I lost the disclaimer.  Entirely my fault.  :(

That's two stupid-patch-demerits for me from Friday.  Only one
one ext4.  ;)
