2. Make FAT and EXT2 file systems use the above mechanism to optionally
   notify user space about errors. Implemented as 'notify' mount option
   (PATCH 3,4).
   FAT error reporting facilities had to be re-factored (PATCH 2) in 
   order to simplify sending error notifications.

  One question: Why would not a filesystem / admin want the notification
to be sent? Or in other words what's the point of the mount option?

I agree on this. I guess we should instead implement a VFS helper
like 'send_error_notification(sb, error_type)'. Then we can teach
certain FSes to utilize it. We are particularly interested in FAT,
actually.
