I'd still like to hold back 13/13. SHA-256 doesn't seem to be well received by
the community as the "slow" hash and using a plain SHA-256 is not sufficient
for the dm-verity/fs-verity like approach I intend to implement in subsequent
patches.

For the record, the current idea is to use a HMAC(SHA-256) as checksum
algorithm with a key provided at mkfs and mount time.
