Note this is only true for the root file system.

This is actually the better way to fix Mark's complaint, as it
provides the correct behaviour if someone tries explicitly mounting an
ext4 file system via "mount -t ext2 /dev/sda". It also provides a
better explanation of what happens when CONFIG_EXT4_USE_EXT23 is
enabled and ext2 and ext3 are deconfigured, and the user has an ext2
or ext3 root file system. Now they will something like this:
EXT4-fs (sda): mounting ext2 file system using the ext4 subsystem
EXT4-fs (sda): mounted filesystem without journal. Opts: (null)
which makes clearer what is going on.

Subject: [PATCH] ext4: check for ext[23] file system features when mounting as ext[23]
Provide better emulation for ext[23] mode by enforcing that the file
system does not have any unsupported file system features as defined
by ext[23] when emulating the ext[23] file system driver when
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 is defined.
This causes the file system type information in /proc/mounts to be
correct for the automatically mounted root file system. This also
means that "mount -t ext2 /dev/sda /mnt" will fail if /dev/sda
contains an ext3 or ext4 file system, just as one would expect if the
original ext2 file system driver were in use.
