This is a separate patch - the first patch in the series should
add these definitions and define the XFS ioctl and flags to use them
so we can clearly see there is no change of the existing user API.
There's no need to change the XFS implementation at all.

The second patch then adds the f2fs implementation.

Cheers,

Dave.
