Subject: [RESEND] Kernel patch: ext2 creators list update

Hello. Sorry for resending this; I didn't follow all the rules :-)

I'm working on a new OS that will have ext2 as the primary
filesystem. I'm adding my OS to the list of creators, for the
superblock item s_creator_os. I know the kernel doesn't use these
values; I don't know if any user programs do, though. The patch is to
2.6.24.4.
