Hi all,
	This patch set try to implement discontiguous block group in ocfs2. We 
have meet with many ENOSPC problems because of file system fragmentation 
and among them a big part is that we can't allocate contiguouse 4M bytes 
to allocate a new inode/extent block group. So this patch set is going 
to resolve this by supporting discontiguous block group.

01-11 are the original patches from Joel Becker, I didn't touch them so 
that Joel could skip them for review. ;)
12 is a patch fixing some tiny problems in 01-11. I separate it out so 
that it can be reviewed by Joel easily and it will be integrated into 
the previous 01-11 when it get acked.
13-15 are the following patches.
