No patch?

Can you figure out why the on-disk checksum is non-zero?  That should not
happen.  Is it possible that the kernel patch and e2fsprogs somehow have
the wrong struct alignment?  Is mke2fs not zeroing out the on-disk data -
the error is reporting that bg_checksum on disk is 1 when it should be 0?

I suppose it is possible for the patch to just ignore the on-disk data if
checksums are not enabled, but we didn't have any such problems in the past...
