Subject: [PATCH] UFS i_blocks handling

Current UFS code doesn't maintain i_blocks. It creates 2 glitches:
1) state always says that no blocks are allocated
2) long symlinks are corrupted.
For (2) in GRUB there is a workaround to check whether link is a fast
link based on its length (link is considered a fast one if its size is
small to fit in inline space and i_blocks == 0) however neither Linux
nor BSD-using OS have such workaround and this should be fixed anyway.
Please consider attached patch. It may be of bad quality, I haven't
learned the code in question in more details.
Please CC me when answering.
