@Andrew:

Ira Weiny asked David Sterba for taking this patch through his tree because 
it is a pre-requisite for a patch to fs/btrfs. He agreed with the above-
mentioned suggestion, however I suppose that an ACK by you is needed.

Can you please take a look at this patch and say what you think about it?

Thanks,

Fabio
