Queued for the next merge window.  I did slightly change the
documentation in Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt to make
"norecovery" be the canonnical option name, since that's what Eric had
show up in /proc/mounts.  That seems fair, we might as well try to add
consistency between different Linux filesystems.
