[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
That reminds me, we should be avoiding types like uint64_t unless 
they're really needed.  The fiemap code is bound tightly to the Linux 
kernel so I guess uint64_t is OK there, but the portable code should use 
higher-level types like off_t.  I installed the attached patch.  No 
doubt further cleanups like this could be made but one thing at a time.
