I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding; I wasn't saying it was
hard, just pointing out that different versions of interfaces are
profilerating as a result of continuing to support the old ABI at the
same time as the new 64-bit ABI - perhaps more versions of more
functions than was originally anticipated. (I wrote a similar patch
and I agree it's not hard, just more cruft to maintain.)

Eagerly awaiting ext2fs_block_iterate4,
