Public bug reported:

[Impact]

 * Recent additions to the mako kernel have made it too big for the mako
boot partition. Without this patch, a boot.img cannot be created.

[Test Case]

 1. Compile the mako kernel without this patch.
 2. Attempt to create a boot.img
 3. Notice that the kernel is too big.
 4. Apply this patch.
 5. Run steps 1-2 again.
 6. Notice that the kernel is no longer too big.

[Regression Potential]

 * This patch removes ext2 and ext3 and enables ext4's backward-
compatibility mode for them instead. The only regression potential is
within ext4's backward-compatibility.
