On the other hand, these are macros, and this if gets duplicated in many
places and translate into few additional assembly instructions per
message.

This comment of mine just repeats that request. It talks about being
stricter in the future patches and not add/remove messages. It does not
request to modify this patch. IOW, this change is OK, but please, let's
make sure we do not have them in the UBIFS patch.
