that's my main point, and the goal of my first patch. I was thinking in just
warn when mounting a ext3 with ext4.ko using mount options not recognized by
ext3.ko, but, looks like hard-reject these options looks more reasonable than
just warning.

I'm going to re-write the patch using this approach. Is there any concern in
take this direction from any part here?
