Note that this is NOT a duplicate of the Bull "change attribute" patches,
rather this implements only the on-disk storage of the 64-bit version
number, and the ability to resize i_extra_isize to allow inodes in the
filesystem which weren't created with a big enough i_extra_isize to add
new fields.  That would basically be needed by all ext4 filesystems that
did not yet have the nanosecond timestamp patches applied when they were
created.

Minor nit - can the wrapping here be fixed when it is added to the git tree:

			ei->i_fs_version |=
				(__u64)le32_to_cpu(raw_inode->i_version_hi)<<32;

And here:
			raw_inode->i_version_hi =
				cpu_to_le32(ei->i_fs_version >> 32);
