This means I finally have to get around to creating a fsck.btrfs in
order to be able to actually boot my systems.

Btrfs is like xfs in that the kernel does the checking and repair.
There is a program 'btrfsck', but it doesn't repair anything, and is
only really intended for developers.

I wonder what the best approach to this is.  What about if I just
create an executable script fsck.btrfs with

   #!/bin/sh
   echo fsck.btrfs "$@" done by kernel

The other option is to teach the auto fsck that btrfs doesn't need to
run anything.
