Great, thanks for working on that. I'm going to merge the preparatory
patches next. I'm not sure about the command line option, we might want
to design it in a similar way as -O/--features. As this is a runtime
feature (unlike the on-disk format features), a new option will be
needed, backed by some research what other mkfs.* tools use.

The uuid_tree would at least use the btrfs_create_tree, but I don't
think we'd need to create it only on request, so quotas will be the only
option.

How would --rootdir and quotas behave in that case? A related question
is what will be the semantics of rootdir+quotas+subvolume created at
mkfs time.

We can certainly start with only quotas on the empty filesystem, but I'm
sure somebody will ask for the wild combination at some point.
