Ext2fs uses unsigned fields in its dinode struct.
FreeBSD can have negative values in some of those
fields and the inode is meant to interact with the
system so we have never respected the unsigned
nature of most of those fields.
Block numbers and the NFS generation number do
not need to be signed so redefine them as
unsigned to better match the on-disk information.

When using big inodes there is sufficient space in ext3 to
keep extra resolution and birthtime (creation) timestamps.
The appropriate fields in the on-disk inode have been approved
for a long time but support for this in ext3 has not been
widely distributed.
In preparation for ext4 most linux distributions have enabled
by default such bigger inodes and some people use nanosecond
timestamps in ext3. We now support those when the inode is big
enough and while we do recognize the EXT4F_ROCOMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE,
we maintain the extra timestamps even when they are not used.
An additional note by Bruce Evans:
We blindly accept unrepresentable tv_nsec in VOP_SETATTR(), but
all file systems have always done that. When POSIX gets around
to specifying the behaviour, it will probably require certain
rounding to the fs's resolution and not rejecting the request.
This unfortunately means that syscalls that set times can't
really tell if they succeeded without reading back the times
using stat() or similar and checking that they were set close
enough.

ext4 but that can be used in ext3 mode.
Also adjust the internal inode to carry the birthtime,
like in UFS, which is starting to get some use when
big inodes are available.
Right now these are just placeholders for features
to come.

mnt_noasync counter to temporary remove MNTK_ASYNC mount option, which
is needed to guarantee a synchronous completion of the initiated i/o
before syscall or VOP return. Global removal of MNTK_ASYNC option is
harmful because not only i/o started from corresponding thread becomes
synchronous, but all i/o is synchronous on the filesystem which is
initiated during sync(2) or syncer activity.
Instead of removing MNTK_ASYNC from mnt_kern_flag, provide a local
thread flag to disable async i/o for current thread only. Use the
opportunity to move DOINGASYNC() macro into sys/vnode.h and
consistently use it through places which tested for MNTK_ASYNC.
Some testing demonstrated 60-70% improvements in run time for the
metadata-intensive operations on async-mounted UFS volumes, but still
with great deviation due to other reasons.

Eliminate the i_devvp field from the incore inodes, we can get the same
value from ip->i_ump->um_devvp.

- BSDL block and inode allocation policies for ext2fs. This involves the use
FFS1 style block and inode allocation for ext2fs. Preallocation was removed
since it was GPL'd.
- Make ext2fs MPSAFE by introducing locks to per-mount datastructures.
- Fixes for kern/122047 PR.
- Various small bugfixes.
- Move out of gnu/ directory.
