It's actually more convenient for me not to mix userspace and kernel
patches, because b4 doesn't know the difference. For that matter
replying with an unrelated patch can also confuse b4, so it's a bit
easier for people using b4 to send unrelated patches as a separate
mail thread, using git format-patch / git send-email.
In this case, the corresponding patch to mke2fs is pretty simple, and
I've already pushed it to the e2fsprogs git repo:
https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/commit/6d9033ff854eb346746176f43aa063137275d4b1
