Subject: Re: [Resubmit][Patch 0/2] Persistent preallocation in ext4

Here is the patch to e2fsprogs-1.39, with patches for ext4 already
applied. It makes e2fsprogs tools recognize uninitialized extents. This
is only for testing purpose as of now and it might need some
fine-tuning, before it can be really be submitted.
This patch also enables "EXT_DEBUG" flag to display debug information
(e.g. extent details).
