Make_ext4fs was fixed not create invalid file systems a *long* time
ago.  What I'm not sure about is why the patch hasn't gotten out to
more Android manufacters sooner.

It should have been fixed by sometime in 2012 --- I complained to the
Android team in early 2011.  What I don't understand is why people are
coming out of the woodwork *now*.
