I didn't change any code, just modified the superblock
a little bit. In particular, it now says it is 8k in size
and some bits that were undefined (all 1's) but are
interpreted by our kernel, are now set.

Shouldn't be difficult to make the kernel accept the
original superblock.

N.B. fsck and other userland tools are still confused
by the "alternate superblocks". I guess these also need
to be more relaxed about undefined bits.
