This is an old proposal; the challenge which this is that if you do this, we
then have to block any attempts to write to the file system until the dirty bit
has been set in the superblock.   It can be done, but it's not been a high
priority to any of the ext3/ext4 developers.  Patches to do this will be
accepted.  If someone wants more details about how to best do this and is
willing to do the implementation and testing, please let me know.
