Should this be a __u64, even though we don't currently support 64-bit inode
numbers today?  Easy to change the struct now, much harder to do later.  Would
need to align it properly though.

Please don't introduce XFS terminology into ext4.  In ext4 these are called
"block groups", and use "bg" as the prefix.

(style) please add a unique prefix to the struct names, like "efg_" or similar
("fg_" if this is being hoisted to the VFS at some point, to avoid churn).

Similarly, "bgi_blocks      /* inode blocks per block group */

Why would you want to allow a negative version?  Also, feature flags are so
much better than version numbers, let's just stick with flags.

Sorry, it isn't clear what this means?

"METACKSUM" would be better?

Are there any filesystems in existence that don't have this feature?

Sigh, this isn't quite the same as the existing feature flags, but doesn't
actually encompass all of the available features, nor could it ever fit all
three __u32 into one __u32.  It isn't clear why this duplicate information
is needed in this struct?  If needed, why not return all three feature flags?

Should pack arguments on the declaration line like:

static int ext4_ioc_fsgeometry(struct super_block *sb, void __user *arg)

I thought kernel style frowned upon aligning local variable declarations
(at least we were told that for the Lustre code and have had to remove it).

You could avoid the explicit memset by initializing the struct at declaration.
