Of ourse the code in it's current form should not go into mpage.c but
rather into ext4 so that it doesn't bloat the kernel for everyone.

Sigh, we HAVE a patch that was only adding delalloc to ext4, but it
was rejected because "that functionality should go into the VFS".
Since the performance improvement of delalloc is quite large, we'd
like to get this into the kernel one way or another.  Can we make a
decision if the ext4-specific delalloc is acceptable?
