IMHO the best way to solve the "I can't read the fs due to
invalid super block ecc" with an ocfs2_open() flag to skip ecc checking.
Debugfs and o2image in particular would benefit from this as we can't have
them failing due to such an error.

Coly, the rest of the patch looks good to me. I'm thinking we can put this
in once you adress Sunil's comments.
