e2fs_maxcontig was modelled after UFS when bringing the
"Orlov allocator" to ext2. On UFS fs_maxcontig is kept in the
superblock and is used by userland tools (fsck and growfs),
In ext2 this information is volatile so it is not available
for userland tools, so in this case it doesn't have sense
to carry it in the in-memory superblock.
Also remove a pointless check for MAX(1, x) > 0.

- Correct comments in ext2_dir.h
- Several panic() messages showed wrong function names.
- Remove commented out stray line in ext2_alloc.c.
- Remove the unused macro EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE_BITS() and the then
write-only member e2fs_blocksize_bits from struct m_ext2fs.
- Remove the unused macro EXT2_FIRST_INO() and the then write-only
member e2fs_first_inode from struct m_ext2fs.
- Remove EXT2_DESC_PER_BLOCK() and the member e2fs_descpb from
struct m_ext2fs.
- Remove the unused members e2fs_bmask, e2fs_dbpg and
e2fs_mount_opt from struct m_ext2fs

We also try to make better use of the fs flags instead of
trying adapt the code according to the fs structures. In
the case of subsecond timestamps and birthtime we now
check that the feature is explicitly enabled: previously
we only checked that the reserved space was available and
silently wrote them.
This approach is much safer, especially if the filesystem
happens to use embedded inodes or support EAs.

Bring several definitions required for newer ext4 features.
Rename EXT2F_COMPAT_HTREE to EXT2F_COMPAT_DIRHASHINDEX since it
is not being used yet and the new name is more compatible with
NetBSD and Linux.
This change is purely cosmetic and has no effect on the real
code.

When using big inodes there is sufficient space in ext3 to
keep extra resolution and birthtime (creation) timestamps.
The appropriate fields in the on-disk inode have been approved
for a long time but support for this in ext3 has not been
widely distributed.
In preparation for ext4 most linux distributions have enabled
by default such bigger inodes and some people use nanosecond
timestamps in ext3. We now support those when the inode is big
enough and while we do recognize the EXT4F_ROCOMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE,
we maintain the extra timestamps even when they are not used.
An additional note by Bruce Evans:
We blindly accept unrepresentable tv_nsec in VOP_SETATTR(), but
all file systems have always done that. When POSIX gets around
to specifying the behaviour, it will probably require certain
rounding to the fs's resolution and not rejecting the request.
This unfortunately means that syscalls that set times can't
really tell if they succeeded without reading back the times
using stat() or similar and checking that they were set close
enough.

ext4 but that can be used in ext3 mode.
Also adjust the internal inode to carry the birthtime,
like in UFS, which is starting to get some use when
big inodes are available.
Right now these are just placeholders for features
to come.

The feature has been standard for a while in UFS as a means to reduce
fragmentation, therefore maintaining consistent performance with
filesystem aging. This is also very similar to what ext4 calls
"delayed allocation".
In his 2010 GSoC, Zheng Liu ported and benchmarked the missing
FANCY_REALLOC code to find more consistent performance improvements than
with the preallocation approach.

- BSDL block and inode allocation policies for ext2fs. This involves the use
FFS1 style block and inode allocation for ext2fs. Preallocation was removed
since it was GPL'd.
- Make ext2fs MPSAFE by introducing locks to per-mount datastructures.
- Fixes for kern/122047 PR.
- Various small bugfixes.
- Move out of gnu/ directory.
