This might be a useful subtopic to raise at LSF if an invite is
obtained. A succinct list of the needs and approaches would be useful to
whoever tries to lead the discussion.
There are 50 EXPORT_SYMBOLs added to ext4.  Maybe grouping and
explaining those might be a good place to start.
I don't suppose there is a document already somewhere that explains the
extension in ldiskfs?

Thanks,
