ext3 has quite unexpected semantics or "ro" and defaults are
not what they are documented to be, due to mkfs override.

If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks,
the file data corruption will spread silently. Because most of
applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't
notice the IO error. It's scary for mission critical systems. On the
other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file
data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable. So this patch
introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal
or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data.
If you mount a ext3 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data
write error. If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just
call printk(). data_err=ignore is the default.

This patch adds "-o bh" option to force use of buffer_heads. This option
is needed when we make "nobh" as default - and if we run into problems.

Undocument the non-working resize= mount option in ext3, and add some
references to the ext2resize package instead, which appears to be the only
proper way of doing online resizing of ext3 filesystems.

The patch below adds a new mount option to allow the external journal
device to be specified.
The syntax is as follows:
# mount -t ext3 -o journal_dev=0x0820 ...
where 0x0820 means major=8 and minor=32.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
