Sorry for coming to the conversation late --- real life.  I did the 
first stab at implementing fallocate() and fallocate64() and I can see 
now I forgot all about errno.  Anyhow, this patch and the other one 
against posix_fallocate() look good.  They should also be backported to 
the 0.9.33 branch which we are using extensively in gentoo.  We can help 
Bernhard out by making sure they apply there cleanly.

I've heard of the linux test project but never played with it.  Sounds 
useful!
