I did that just to see what it looked like.

One annoyance: I now get

  fs/jbd2/transaction.c: In function ‘start_this_handle’:
  fs/jbd2/transaction.c:98: warning: unused variable ‘ts’

due to that 'ts' thing only being used for the CONFIG_JBD2_DEBUG case.
Please fix. I'd suggest putting that CONFIG_JBD2_DEBUG code in a
helper function of its own, and declaring 'ts' there instead.
Suggested patch (but with a horrible helper function name) attached.
