In general I am happy with the patches. If everything is done what
I have asked for then I will get them. However, there is one problem.
Another big btrfs (RAID) patchset is lurking around for months. It is
almost ready. Goffredo, I am looking at you... So, I would like to take
RAID patchset first. If it is in the tree then I will ask you to rebase
zstd patchset on top of RAID patchset and I will take it. Nick, are you
OK with that?
