Subject: [PATCH] ext3: make "norecovery" an alias for "noload"

Users on the list recently complained about differences across
filesystems w.r.t. how to mount without a journal replay.

In the discussion it was noted that xfs's "norecovery" option is
perhaps more descriptively accurate than "noload," so let's make
that an alias for ext3.

Also show this status in /proc/mounts

OK, provided ext4 will have the same change, I'm fine with the patch.
So how is it with ext4?

I did send the same patch for ext4

Obviously I'm too lame at googling ;). OK, I've merged the patch to
for_next branch.

Queued for the next merge window. I did slightly change the
documentation in Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt to make
"norecovery" be the canonnical option name, since that's what Eric had
show up in /proc/mounts. That seems fair, we might as well try to add
consistency between different Linux filesystems.

FWIW, the nilfs folks just added an option to do the same thing, and
I steered them towards "norecovery" - we may just get some consistency,
yet!
