generic deduplication?

Josef posted some patches back in Jan:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg07818.html
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg07819.html
(etc)

... if that's what your looking for.  i don't know whats all needed to
make it work at this point, ie. if you only need the patch to
btrfs-progs or some combination.  there could be more recent patches
but i don't recall anyone talking about any.
