I merged that comment into the kernel patch, along with an extra hunk to warn
if metadata_csum and uninit_bg feature bits are both set.  I wonder if the
kernel should react more forcefully to this supposedly "impossible" situation?
But then I might just be unnecessarily paranoid.  At worst, I suppose, the
checksums on all the group descriptors will be "wrong" and the fs simply won't
allow writes.

(Hm, maybe it should unclear the clean flag?)

Here's v2, to go with the e2fsprogs v2 patch.
