yeah, the only way is that we can add a new member in ocfs2_group_desc, 
but that are only 2 reserved field(1 le32 and one le64), so I don't want 
to waste them.

Another way is that we separate bg_chain to a __le8
-	__le16  bg_chain;
+	__le8	bg_chain;
+	__le8	bg_flags;

But I also think it doesn't worth.

Tao
