One thing I noticed with this check_field() macro is that it doesn't
actually detect the case if the size of a field is changed.  This hit
me when I was making a cleanup to the large journal patch which renamed
s_jnl_blocks[15] to s_jnl_size_lo and s_jnl_blocks[16] to s_jnl_size_hi
for clarity.  The tst_super_size test passed just fine, but the e2fsck
test scripts failed in weird and wonderful ways.

A better solution might be to explicitly pass the expected field size
instead of getting both the size and offset from the structure itself.
Since these structures change very rarely it isn't much maintenance,
but it would be lousy if code was released that had some incorrect
field offset because someone increased or decreased an earlier field
without thinking enough, and those fields weren't used in normal tests.

I can submit a patch if you are interested.
