Uhh, umm, you could make it even nicer by not printing it at all, or by
printing just the first (and last?) few block numbers.
The thing is, FFS wants one superblock per cylinder group. So, actually
making fewer superblocks for today's large drives would be a bit tricky,
as it would involve adding the concept of superblock-less cylinder groups.
But at least we could stop printing them out.
