Patches 1-5 look good to me too.

I'm not ready (and neither authorized) to comment on the patch 6
as it's not a my decision to make.
Seems like the usage of fsx at SGI goes further back than the
SCM history, but at the moment I didn't dig deeper on possible
changes prior to putting it in SCM. The history since in SCM is
correctly presented by Ted, and prealloc and flush options came
from SGI developers.

Anyway, I'm passing it to the legal department at SGI.
