default:
Some tools (check, select-super, dump-super) can use the alternate superblocks, but the options are not consistent. To make it less confusing, change the meaning of option -s in 'dump-super' to specify the superblock copy, instead of taking the offset. Though this is a change in UI, the old usage is detected and the result would be the same, no breakage in existing scripts.
