To ensure that bits are truly on-disk after an fsync,
we should call blkdev_issue_flush if barriers are supported.
Inspired by an old thread on barriers, by reiserfs & xfs
which do the same, and by a patch SuSE ships with their kernel

Move ext4 headers out of include/linux. This is just the trivial move,
there's some more thing that could be done later.

Currently fdatasync is identical to fsync in ext3.
I think fdatasync should skip journal flush in data=ordered and
data=writeback mode when it overwrites to already-instantiated blocks on
HDD. When I_DIRTY_DATASYNC flag is not set, fdatasync should skip journal
writeout because this indicates only atime or/and mtime updates.
Following patch is the same approach of ext2's fsync code(ext2_sync_file).
I did a performance test using the sysbench.
#sysbench --num-threads=128 --max-requests=50000 --test=fileio --file-total-size=128G
--file-test-mode=rndwr --file-fsync-mode=fdatasync run
The result on ext3 was:

Start of the ext4 patch series. See Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt for
details.
This is a simple copy of the files in fs/ext3 to fs/ext4 and
/usr/incude/linux/ext3* to /usr/include/ex4*
