"s_overhead_blocks", which I think is somehow related to bigalloc.  They
haven't appeared in the kernel yet, which made me wary of adding fields that
aren't used by this patchset.

Actually, I had pondered putting the checksum at the very end of the 1k
superblock, which makes the checksum cover the padding too.  On the other hand,
I thought I might save us ~400b of crc32c computation time.  I don't have a big
objection to crc'ing all the padding.
