Sure, but I was mostly wondering wth it was, the file doesn't really explain itself.
Also, most times when introducing generic functionality people try to collect all interested parties and make something that works for everybody.
I know for a fact that btrfs does the fan out and regroup thing for block checksumming etc.. Does Chris even know it exists? If he does why isn't brtfs using it? If its unsuitable, why wasn't it fixed.
I'm not saying its crap or anything -- I haven't looked at it at all, beyond my grep for cpu_active -- I'm just wondering, and so far it looks like there's something weird.
