situation.

I was thinking something like this might work:

if (csum_invalid)
	ask and then jump to clear_inode;

...all other inode sanity checks go here...

if (csum_was_invalid)
	ask and correct inode checksum;

That way, if the inode manages to survive all the other sanity checks, the user
has the opportunity to save the inode.  If the inode contains junk, then the
user will probably clear the inode on account of the garbage.

Come to think of it, this is probably a good idea for everything else.  I
think?

Ok.
