+ Adds code that examines all block write requests (including
+ writes of the super block). The goal is to verify that the
+ state of the filesystem on disk is always consistent, i.e.,
+ after a power-loss or kernel panic event the filesystem is
+ in a consistent state.
+
+ If the integrity check tool is included and activated in
+ the mount options, plenty of kernel memory is used, and
+ plenty of additional CPU cycles are spent. Enabling this
+ functionality is not intended for normal use.
