This incompat feature is used to denote that the filesystem stored its
metadata checksum seed in the superblock. This is used to allow tune2fs
to change the UUID on a mounted metadata_csum filesystem without having
to rewrite all the disk metadata.

But GRUB doesn't use the metadata checksum in anyway, so can just ignore
this feature if is enabled. This is consistent with GRUB filesystem code
in general which just does a best effort to access the filesystem's data.

It may be removed from the ignored list in the future if supports to do
metadata checksumming verification is added to the read-only FS driver.

                                                            support
or better yet:
                                                            support for
  metadata checksum verification

The GRUB 2.06 is no longer maintained by upstream maintainers due to
lack of resources.

The fix is in the latest master.

Please send patches using "git send-email" next time.
