Since the on-disk format has been stable for quite some time, users
should either use the headers provided by libext2fs or keep a private
copy of this header. For the full discussion, see this thread:

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/21/516

While at it, this commit removes all __KERNEL__ guards, which are now
unnecessary.

Thanks!!

Al, do you want to take this in the VFS tree, or do you want me to
carry this in the ext4 tree?  Or Jan could carry it in the ext2 tree.
I don't really have strong feelings about who picks it up.  I will if
no one else wants to...

Applied.  I'll probably add a followup moving most of that stuff to
fs/ext2/ext2.h on top of that commit...

Peter,

Note that we are planning on unexporting ext2_fs.h, and then utterly
removing it from the tree (with what fs/ext2 needs being moved to
fs/ext2/ext2.h).

Someone who was compiling "the latest version" of syslinux has
submitted a kernel bugzilla entry that this was breaking due to
ext2_fs.h using umode_t which was no longer being exported by the
kernel header files.  Given that ext2_fs.h is about to go ***poof***
(Al already has the changes in his vfs git tree), I thought I should
give you a heads up....

Thanks.  Syslinux already includes a private copy of ext2_fs.h, but I
need to scrub the umode_t inclusion.

Ah, good.  I'll close the kernel bugzilla report in that case.

Thanks,
