This hunk should be removed from this patch.  This copyright was recently
re-added into LTP from the very original fsx implementation, from looking
at the commit logs.

I think you can also remove this function for the LTP version.  We need
to be able to run fsx on very old distros that our customers still use,
where basename() isn't declared properly, but this was recently removed
in the LTP version (presumably because it is used only on modern distros).

As an FYI (largely to Eric Sandeen) the fallocate support is only
for the initial file data.  I was thinking of adding the ability
to add OP_FALLOC operations (both keep size and extend size) to
give better stress testing of falloc.  Sadly, I ran out of time
for implementing that.  Did you ever do something similar?

Can you please fix the indenting here to use tabs...
