Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"Mostly performance and bug fixes, plus some cleanups. The one new
feature this merge window is a new ioctl EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT which
allows installation of a hidden inode designed for boot loaders."
