The e2fsprogs and kernel implementation of directory hash tree has a
bug which causes the implementation to be dependent on whether
characters are signed or unsigned. Platforms such as the PowerPC,
Arm, and S/390 have signed characters by default, which means that
hash directories on those systems are incompatible with hash
directories on other systems, such as the x86.
To fix this we add a new flags field to the superblock, and define two
new bits in that field to indicate whether or not the directory should
be signed or unsigned. If the bits are not set, e2fsck and fixed
kernels will set them to the signed/unsigned value of the currently
running platform, and then respect those bits when calculating the
directory hash. This allows compatibility with current filesystems,
as well as allowing cross-architectural compatibility.

- EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE (0x0008) - change i_blocks to be
in units of s_blocksize units instead of 512-byte sectors, use
l_i_frag and l_i_fsize as i_blocks_hi (could also be part of 64BIT).
E2fsck and debugfs changed to support i_blocks_hi instead of l_i_frag and
l_i_fsize.

When allocating space for the RAID filesystems with the stride parameter,
place each portion of the group's inode table right up after the superblock
(if present) in order to minimize fragmentation of the freespace.

superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information
in the superblock if it is not there already, and will use it if the
journal inode appears to be corrupted. ext2fs_add_journal_inode()
will also save the backup information, so that new filesystems
created by mke2fs and filesystems that have journals added via
tune2fs will also have journal location written to the superblock as
well. Debugfs's logdump command has been enhanced so that it can
use the journal information in the superblock.
The debugfs man page has been improved to more fully describe the
logdump command.
Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and
ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure;
this is needed so that e2fsck and debugfs can synthesize a
fake journal inode and use it to access the journal.
