Subject: [PATCH] annotate superblock field offsets

The s_mount_options field has the unfortunate distinction of being the first field beyond 0x200 in the superblock (i.e. second sector of 1kB superblock area).  

Annotate the superblock fields with offsets so that it is easier to see
these boundaries, and decode the superblock in the future.

Cheers, Andreas
