*Stop*.
First of all, exporting size of superblock is wrong, since the entire ->read_super() mechanism is going to be replaced with ->get_super(type, ...) (get_sb_...() becoming commonly used instances of the method). Moreover, freeing superblock is very likely to become a method (for quite a few reasons).
Please, don't turn fs type into a bloody mess. It's bad enough as it is; at least don't add the stuff that will go away anyway.
