No, it is available in source, but otherwise just as bad. And we generally
only define APIs for in-kernel usage.
If we can come up with a good API for in-kernel filesystems we can do
that, otherwise hell no. And staging for that matter qualifies as out
of tree.
That being said I'm really worried about these FIEMAP extensions as
userspace has no business poking into details of the placement (vs
just the layout).
But all that belongs into a separate dicussion instead of dragging down
this series where it does not belong at all.
