Something is wrong with below change; legitimate HFS filesystem images can no longer be mounted.
I guess that several reserved IDs have to be excluded from make_bad_inode() conditions.

# hformat testfile.img
# mount -t hfs -o loop testfile.img /mnt/
mount: /mnt: filesystem was mounted, but any subsequent operation failed: Operation not permitted.
