Is suggested by Gary i moved S_I* so that it starts at bit 16. I
tested this with the ROMFS with both an old ROMFS image and a new
image. Both passed the fileio1 test. 

>From what i can see, this change will probably only break code that
uses stat to look at the S_I* flags for ROMFS built using the old
mk_romfs. I think its unlikely that anyody is actually doing this in
an embedded system. But i could be wrong....

I've broken jffs2 twice in the last month, so it would be nice if
someone checked this patch to see if this makes three!
