Ok, stupid question.  You did make sure the new ext4 module was
loaded, right?

OK, so after the patch, line 2721: changed from page_buffers() to:

    if (!page_has_buffers(page))

page_has_buffers() expands to:

#define page_has_buffers(page)	PagePrivate(page)

which expands to test_bit() call to see if PG_private1 is set in
page->flags.  There is no BUG_ON anywhere there as far as I can tell.

Line 2721 in the older kernel was page_has_buffers() which does have a
BUG_ON check.
