Hi Eric,

There are three groups of changes here: libfs, ext4 and f2fs.  Since the
changes in libfs are self-contained and only affect these two
filesystems, I think it should be fine for them to go through a fs tree.

The bulk of changes are ext4, and Ted mentioned on an earlier version
that he could pick the first patches of this series, so I'm thinking it
should all go through the ext4 tree.  If Jaegeuk acks, the f2fs changes
are safe to go with the rest, or I can send them afterwards as a
separate series once the libfs code is merged.

Thanks,
