The patches now all look good to me. I'd like to discuss a bit how to merge
them. The series has an ext4 cleanup (patch 3) and three iomap patches
(patches 6, 8 and 9). Darrick, do you want to take the iomap patches through
your tree?

The only dependency is that patch 7 for ext2 is dependent on definitions
from patch 6 so I'd have to pull your branch into my tree. Or I can take
all the iomap patches through my tree but for that it would be nice to have
Darrick's acks.

I can take the ext4 patch through my tree unless Ted objects.

I guess I won't rush this for the coming merge window (unless Linus decides
to do rc8) but once we settle on the merge strategy I'll push out some
branch on which we can base further ext2 iomap conversion work.
