No need to mention v5 superblocks here - we've already got that in
the initial mount output. Say:

"EXPERIMENTAL sparse inode chunk feature enabled. Use at your own risk!"

"Inode block alignment (%u) must match chunk size (%u) for sparse inodes."

That makes both error messages a single line a easy to grep for.

Indent the second line of the comaprison so it's distinct from the
logic comparison. i.e. at first glance the above looks like three
logic conditions being compared, when in fact it is only two.

	if (xfs_sb_version_hassparseinodes(&mp->m_sb) &&
	    mp->m_sb.sb_spinoalignmt !=
			XFS_B_TO_FSBT(mp, mp->m_inode_cluster_size)) {

This makes it clear at a glance there are only two logic conditions
in the if() statement.

"Sparse inode chunk block alignment (%u) must match cluster size (%u)."

Cheers,

Dave.
