I finally noticed that this bit is STILL missing...
Please Ingo, either scrap the current superblock entirely,
or INCLUDE this patch in!
Now of course the RH 6.0 does contain this BUG, and all Alpha,
and SPARC(64) systems (very least) create wrong format superblocks,
which are not understandable by e.g. ia32 systems.
By the way, I would like to have these endianity independent, that way
I could mount same disk also at e.g. ia32 system thru fiber-channel
fabric... (No, I am not quite yet doing that...)
