Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

An atomic write is a write issed with torn-write protection. This means
for a power failure or any hardware failure all or none of the data from
the write will be stored, never a mix of old and new data.

This work is already supported for block devices. If a block device is
opened with O_DIRECT and the block device supports atomic write, then
FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE is added to the file of the opened block device.

This pull request contains the work to expand atomic write support to
filesystems, specifically ext4 and XFS. Currently, only support for
writing exactly one filesystem block atomically is added.

Since it's now possible to have filesystem block size > page size for
XFS, it's possible to write 4K+ blocks atomically on x86.

/* Testing */

gcc version 14.2.0 (Debian 14.2.0-6)
Debian clang version 16.0.6 (27+b1)

All patches are based on v6.12-rc1 and have been sitting in linux-next.
No build failures or warnings were observed.
