Have you test this patch with some actual image with legacy mkfs since
new mkfs framework have not supported special inode...
I think that is fine in priciple, however, in case to introduce some potential
issues, I will test this patch later. I will give a Reviewed-by tag after I tested
this patch.
Thanks,
