Short version: No. For that particular purpose, currently you'd better
stick with wither LVM+ext4 or zfs.

Long version: IIRC Arne Jansen posted patches for subvolume/qgroup
quota support, so it can be used for what you need, up to a certain
degree. It's not as complete as zfs (which also supports reservation
in addition to quota), and it hasn't reached upstream kernel yet (at
least it's not in 3.1-rc9).
