Actually, the journal checksum patches should probably be moved into
the "unstable" part of the series, given the number of problems reported
on them (also in more heavy testing at CFS). These are also not in use
in production anywhere, unlike e.g. uninit_groups which have 6 months *
50 servers of testing or more.

This should probably go into the "stable" part of the patches - it
is a conceptually simple patch, and the sooner INCOMPAT_FLEX_BG gets
upstream the better.
