That is quite a good point. :-)

My first thought is to check the following payloads of sb (e.g, some per-fs
metadata should be checked at mount time together. or for small images, check
the whole image at the mount time) as well since if we introduce a new feature
to some kernel version, forward compatibility needs to be considered. So it's
better to make proper scalability, for this case, we have some choices:
 1) limit `chksum_blocks' upbound at runtime (e.g. refuse >= 65536 blocks,
    totally 256M.)
 2) just get rid of the whole `chksum_blocks' mess and checksum the first 4k
    at all, don't consider any latter scalability.

Some perferred idea about this? I plan to release erofs-utils v1.0 tomorrow
and hold up this feature for the next erofs-utils release, but I think we can
get it ready for v5.5 since it is not quite complex feature...

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
