Same comments as how to apply a patch and about changelog as patch 1.
Won't repeat for other patches.

I think it would be also good to mention there is a lurking bug if code
ever tries to access ext2_type_by_mode[S_IFMT] because on-disk
data is corrupted.

This bunch would look much nicer in ext2_set_de_type().
Always try to put those build time asserts near relevant code
but also at the "beginning of something" in a place more pleasant
to the eye.
