It seems to me that this one is a clear candidate for 2.4 too, isn't it ?
While reviewing diffs between 2.4 and 2.6 on this file, I also found this
patch from Andrew two years ago which also seems appropriate for 2.4 :
[PATCH] JBD: avoid panic on corrupted journal superblock
Don't panic if the journal superblock is wrecked: just fail the mount.

I'm about to queue them both for Marcelo, do you have any objection ?
Thanks in advance,
