I've applied most of these with the exceptions of:

 - Needs fixing as per previous email.

 - I'd really far rather see a fix to bz #307091. Also, although it
might make writes faster, I rather suspect that it will have the
opposite effect on reads, since the indirect blocks will not be in the
journal at all. So on balance I think I'd rather not take this patch
right now.

 - This is also done in bz #349271 and I only want to apply one or the
other of these two patches so I'm deferring this until we know what we
are doing with the patches for #349271.

Also, please use git-send-email if you are sending multiple patches. I'm
not sure what you did to git to get the rather strange paths in these
patches, but I had to edit all the patches except the first one by hand
in order to get them to apply,

Steve.
