Subject: btrfs: warn about RAID5/6 being experimental at mount time
Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/863290
Origin: https://bugs.debian.org/863290#5
Too many people come complaining about losing their data -- and indeed,
there's no warning outside a wiki and the mailing list tribal knowledge.
Message severity chosen for consistency with XFS -- "alert" makes dmesg
produce nice red background which should get the point across.
Signed-off-by: Adam Borowski <kilobyte@angband.pl>
[bwh: Also add_taint() so this is flagged in bug reports]
