About to get on a plane, so it might take a bit to do a real review.
In general this looks fine, but I guess the first two ext4 patches
should just go straight to Ted independent of the rest?

Also Jan just posted a giant DAX patchbomb, we'll need to find a way
to integrate all that work, and maybe prioritize things if we want
to get bits into 4.9 still.
