This is version 3 of the hole punching series I've been posting.  Not much has
changed, the history is below

V2->V3
-FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE must also have FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE in order to work
-formatting fixes

V1->V2
-Hole punching doesn't change file size
-Fixed the mode checks in ext4/btrfs/gfs2 so they do what they are supposed to

I've updated my local copies of the xfsprogs patches I have to test this to use
KEEP_SIZE and PUNCH_HOLE together, I'll post them after it looks like these
patches are good to go, including the manpage update.  The xfstest I wrote ran
fine both on xfs and btrfs (failing on btrfs obviously).  Thanks,
I'd like to try and get this into the next merge window, it seems everybody is
happy with it so far, any other comments?  Provided everybody is ok with it, how
would you like me to send it to you Linus?  Would you prefer a pull request or
will you just pull the patches off the mailinglist?  Thanks,

Josef
