Subject: [PATCHSET V4 1/2] fs: generic file IO error reporting

Hi all,

This patchset adds some generic helpers so that filesystems can report
errors to fsnotify in a standard way.  Then it adapts iomap to use the
generic helpers so that any iomap-enabled filesystem can report I/O
errors through this mechanism as well.  Finally, it makes XFS report
metadata errors through this mechanism in much the same way that ext4
does now.

These are a prerequisite for the XFS self-healing V4 series which will
come at a later time.

If you're going to start using this code, I strongly recommend pulling
from my git trees, which are linked below.

This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems.  Enjoy!
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
