Oh. How about just making jbd.h do the rigt thing, and not care about the 
configuration?

If we include jbd.h, we want the jbd data structures. There's never any 
reason to care whether jbd is enabled or not afaik.

Ie maybe just something like this?

(Untested, obviously. I'm just assuming that anything that actually 
_needs_ the jbd functionality should have made sure that jdb is enabled.)

Zan, Jeffrey?
