I'm starting to wonder if we just set IGNORE_CSUM_ERRORS when we open
the file system, and explicitly check the checksums in e2fsck. It
might make the logic clearer, especially when we start trying to be a
bit more sophisticated in handling checksum errors.
Otherwise, if we get a checksum error, we would have to set the flag
and then retry the read.
