If I'd known that linux-kernel was still on the cc-list, I'd have
checked before sending this off.

I was mislead. It checks the block and inode bitmaps. For instance the
block bitmap of group 5 should indicate that the block that contains
the backup super inside group 5 is not available for normal data.
Also a few other checks are done.

(I'd say: Fine by me, but run that in the background.)
