Short status update, the patch unfortunately grew to well over 50k by now
(checked a few cosmetic and not-related bits in earlier today to shrink
it a little). Note that the stuff below isn't yet dealt with, so it
will grow even more

e2fsprogs is somehow broken due to it's odd sheme of includes. I'm down
to the last few errors for allyesconfig. bareconfig worked fine last
time i tried.

If anybody is willing to help/test then please drop me a short note.

The remaining TODOs to make that patch resemble usability are, fwiw:
