Hm, upon looking at the ext4 patch for the grub I think that including it
can't make the situation worse. It is quite compact/clean patch and grub
cannot ever access such fs in write mode (AFAICS from the quick look)?
Though I can imagine that comments like this one:
+ /* map extents enabled logical block number to physical fs on-dick block number */
may significantly decrease confidence in the changes. :)
Thanks.
Bart
