This reverts commit fc0fc50f38.
The author has asked on the mailing list that we revert this for now as
it breaks write support.

In an ext4 filesystem, the inode corresponding to a file has a 60-byte
area which contains an extent header structure and up to 4 extent
structures (5 x 12 bytes).
For files that need more than 4 extents to be represented (either files
larger than 4 x 128MB = 512MB or smaller files but very fragmented),
ext4 creates extent index structures. Each extent index points to a 4KB
physical block where one extent header and additional 340 extents could
be stored.
The current u-boot ext4 code is very inefficient when it tries to load a
file which has extent indexes. For each logical file block the code will
read over and over again the same blocks of 4096 bytes from the disk.
Since the extent tree in a file is always the same, we can cache the
extent structures in memory before actually starting to read the file.
This patch creates a simple linked list of structures holding information
about all the extents used to represent a file. The list is sorted by
the logical block number (ee_block) so that we can easily find the
proper extent information for any file block.
Without this patch, a 69MB file which had just one extent index pointing
to a block with another 6 extents was read in approximately 3 minutes.
With this patch applied the same file can be read in almost 20 seconds.

The 512 byte block size was hard coded in the ext4 file systems.
Large harddisks today support bigger block sizes typically 4096
bytes.
This patch removes this limitation.

'bool' is defined in random places. This patch consolidates them into a
single header file include/linux/types.h, using stdbool.h introduced in C99.
All other #define, typedef and enum are removed. They are all consistent with
true = 1, false = 0.
Replace FALSE, False with false. Replace TRUE, True with true.
Skip *.py, *.php, lib/* files.

This makes the FAT and ext4 filesystem implementations build if
CONFIG_FS_{FAT,EXT4} are defined, rather than basing the build on
whether CONFIG_CMD_{FAT,EXT*} are defined. This will allow the
filesystems to be built separately from the filesystem-specific commands
that use them. This paves the way for the creation of filesystem-generic
commands that used the filesystems, without requiring the filesystem-
specific commands.
Minor documentation changes are made for this change.
The new config options are automatically selected by the old config
options to retain backwards-compatibility.

Convert ext2/4 load, ls, and write functions to use common device and
partition parsing function. With the common function "dev:part" can come
from the environment and a '-' can be used in that case.

DMA buffer cache invalidation requires that buffers have cache-aligned
buffer locations and sizes. Use memalign() and ALLOC_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER()
to ensure this.
On Tegra at least, without this fix, the following fail commands fail in
u-boot-master/ext4, but succeeded at the branch's branch point in
u-boot/master. With this fix, the commands work again:
ext2ls mmc 0:1 /
ext2load mmc 0:1 /boot/zImage
