Yes, this does look like noise.  It is only used when old_root is set,
but it'll be really easy to add bugs there later.

I've pushed two commits out, the second one is a printk cast on 32 bit
machines.  Neither of these are fatal but they are in for-linus:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs.git for-linus

Chris Mason (2) commits (+3/-2):
    Btrfs: cast devid to unsigned long long for printk %llu (+2/-1)
    Btrfs: init old_generation in get_old_root (+1/-1)

Total: (2) commits (+3/-2)
