    Folks, I have merged this into the xfs tree for the 4.1 merge
    window. It is under the stable branch "fallocate-insert-range"
    in the tree here:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs.git

    an dis currently included in the for-next branch that is included in
    the linux-next tree. I have not included the ext4 kernel support
    patch in this branch (patch 3) because I have not seen any reviews
    from ext4 developers for it.

    Ted, if you want to include that patch in you ext4 tree, feel free
    to base it on the above branch, or if you give your sob or
    reviewed-by ok I can pull it into my tree. I'll leave it up to you
    to determine how you want to deal with this.

    Cheers,

    Dave.
