Uninitialized extents:
We will need uninitialized extents support for preallocated blocks
(allocated by fallocate()) too.
I can send a patch for this, but I don't think extents support is there
in 1.40.2 release. Is there a place where I can find the latest extents
support patch on top of 1.40 ? I can prepare patch for uninitialized
extents on top of it.
