But that's not really fixing the issue here :(

Doing this type of work is non-trivial for lustre, I wouldn't even
recommend trying it out.  It is going to require changes in how some of
the structures are layed out, and probably some userspace tool changes
as well.

Sorry, I can't take this patch as-is.
