Ok, so, the convert_to_bg_tree still needs wiring up somewhere before
it's possible to convert an existing fs?

I want to test with a (iSCSI level clone of a) rather large-ish
filesystem, so I was searching for how to convert that in place.

Do you have an idea for a (quick hack?) way to make this happen?

Doing the offline conversion itself is also already an interesting
thing, seeing how it behaves with some tens of thousands of block
groups... (As the intended audience for it will mostly be people having
large filesystems already.)
