Add ext4__allow_read-only_mounts_with_corrupted_block_group_checksums patch

Ted,

Just recompiled 2.6.26 with the newest snapshot (15-July 2008/2310GMT).
uninit_bg had been enabled.

To test kernel I did: tune2fs -O ^uninit_bg /dev/sda6 to remove uninit_bg
feature.
Was prompted to run e2fsck on system.

Rebooted and e2fsck saw errors and did a forced fsck without having to
reboot. All is well thus far.

Then I did the reverse: tune2fs -O uninit_bg /dev/sda6 to renable uninit_bg
feature.
Again, I was prompted to run e2fsck on system.

Rebooted. This time I got a kernel panic that started with:
EXT4-fs: ext4_check_descriptors: Checksum for group 2 failed (10368!=32990)
EXT4-fs: group descriptors corrupted!

Then the partitions available are listed followed by
No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext4dev ext2
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unavle to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,6)

I was under the impression that the newest patch would handle this or am I
mistaken?

Thanks,
Gary
