    mke2fs: prevent creation of filesystem with unsupported revision
    
    It's a bit strange to accept revision levels higher than
    the code creating the filesystem can understand, so don't
    allow it.
    
    At least the kernel will mount the fs readonly if it's too
    high, but no other utility will touch it, so you can't
    fix the error.
    
    Just reject anything > EXT2_MAX_SUPP_REV at mkfs time.
