The series looks pretty good to me now with the latest fix. I was
previously tripping all over the delalloc asserts. With this set (and
also running with finobt enabled), my tests ran clean on a 4k fs.

I've seen generic/270 still hit an assert once or twice on a 1k block fs
(as noted on irc), but that's proven rather difficult to reproduce. I'll
continue beating on it a bit, but otherwise:
