Yea, i thought about it. It will be better to have some kernel wide
fs_msg(). But before doing this i think one more step should be done -
some notification interface for userspace. 
If we get some fs errors userspace app should be notified so user too.

I work currently on one case, user lost all data on FAT drive. First
error messages was logged for some weeks, and only now some big data
lost. There war no errors from GUI.
