There should still be some way to set these (now unused) fields, so that
it is possible to generate failure cases.

Did you check if @IF is used anywhere else in the problem messages?

We may want to keep these checks, as a way to detect corruption.  We
will never re-use the superblock fields for anything.

Did you run "make check"?  I'd think some of the test cases depend on
the superblock output.
