Maybe combine this with the to-be-added generation count on mount?
To detect write access to a filesystem after e.g. suspend-to-disk it
would be very nice if all writeable mounts would set a random value in
the superblock. On clean unmount it is set back to 0. This is different
from the dirty bit, which would be unset on suspend.
