If that means we need a patch to disable the undo manager, via a
command-line option, feel free.  :-)

Actually, you should check both, and we need to make mke2fs have an
intelligent default, which can be overridden via mke2fs.conf.

Also, it looks like this patch doesn't create a valid filesystem in
combination with meta_bg:

mke2fs G 32 -O meta_bg,flex_bg,uninit_groups,^resize_inode /tmp/foo.img

Then try running "e2fsck -f /tmp/foo.img" with the patch applied.

One obvious question is why is this patch so fragile....?  Is there
some way we can make it more likely not to break given other changes
to e2fsprogs in the future.
