Subject: [PATCH v2 8/9] fs: ext2, ext4: register an initrd fs detector
From: Julian Stecklina <julian.stecklina@...erus-technology.de>
Port ext2fs to the new initrd_fs_detect API. There are minor
functional changes, because I thought that relying on a 16-bit magic
number alone is too error-prone. I also removed ext2_image_size from
linux/ext2_fs.h, because the initrd code is the only user.
Given that both the ext2 and ext4 module can handle ext2 filesystems,
we have to add the code to either module depending on the
configuration options.
