Quite a lot -- 88390 bytes or so with a normal build with GCC 4.1.1:

Ouch.  That won't do.

We might do better with a simple "journal replay" hack -- we could lift
the code out of fsck.ext3.

Hmmm.. I wonder if busybox has a fsck in it already?  We could hack
that in and then just call fsck /dev/sda1 on the device before a mount
attempt.
