No thought that it would be nice to get it into Linux 3.12 and if Brian 
or anyone wants to review it, then it needs to be done soon.

my "yep" was a terse agreeing with your point.

   Yep, this problem has been around forever.
   Yep, this problem was found/confirmed by your verifier.
   Yep, this problem can only be fixed this way in superblock v5.
   Yep, I had blinders on and was not thinking this to experimental code
     so it does not matter to push it back.
