Yann> In this case, the user would not select an ext2 root fs in the

Yann> But then, genext2fs is not built, since the ext2 root FS was not
Yann> selected.
Yann> As for the other filesystem generators, provide a host variant of
Yann> genext2fs (genext2fs is already host-package aware, so only needs
Yann> adding a Kconfig entry).
Committed, thanks.
