We've worked quite hard to land the ext4 rootfs creation code into
upstream e2fsprogs. I'd like to understand if we're missing anything for
that to work with fastboot. If we are, I suspect it wouldn't be hard to
add and should save maintenance of a separate tool (support in e2fsprogs
means we get any other ext* improvements for free).
