PATCH 1/2 Add FIEMAP header file

Recently there was discussion about an "FIle Extent MAP"(FIEMAP) ioctl for efficiently mapping the extents and holes of a file. This will be many times more efficient than FIBMAP by cutting down the number of ioctls.

This patch adds the FIEMAP header file in include/linux.

Recently there was discussion about an "FIle Extent MAP"(FIEMAP) ioctl for efficiently mapping the extents and holes of a file. This will be many times more efficient than FIBMAP by cutting down the number of ioctls.

Thanks for sending this out.

This patch adds the FIEMAP header file in include/linux.

Any problem with defining the IOC_FIEMAP ioctl number in this header too? No EXT4 prefix so we keep things generic too, please.
