libblkid: add UBI volume support
Probe UBI volume under /dev (or /devfs, /devices).
ubi_ctrl skip is hardcoded, maybe we should find a
cleaner way to do that. Also change probe.c to handle
char devices.
[kzak@redhat.com: - rebase the patch to the current HEAD]

fallocate: new command
The fallocate(1) utility is used to preallocate blocks to a file.
This can be useful for virtual images, database files, testing, etc.
Normally we'd hope that various tools will start using preallocation
internally, but until then such a utility may be useful, and could be
scripted as well.
The original Eric's version is available at:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/2490
This version:
- checks for fallocate glibc function and kernel syscall
- does not provide a fallback and does not call posix_fallocate()
- adds long options
- uses err.h for errro messages
- adds NLS support
- cleanups man page

mount: document changed semantics of tmpfs size option in mount.8
Linux kernel commit 818db35992c249dc32c1d86daf7d533fb0952f5d fixed a
problem where invoking mount -t tmpfs with a size argument smaler than the
size of one page caused the limits on the size of a tmpfs to not operate.
The commit also caused the number supplied by the size option to be
rounded up to the nearest page size instead of down. This alters the man
page to match the behavior of the kernel in this instance.

libblkid: fix topology information values
Looks like the topology values returned are being
inflated by x 512, but the kernel reports them in bytes;
no need for the multiplication, just return the value as-is.

lib: add a generic crc32()
This is public domain implementation, based on static crc32_table[].
This implementation is used on may places (libparted, FreeBSD kernel,
PostgreSQL, ...). The Linux kernel uses on-the-fly generated and
allocated tables. That's useless in shared libraries.

rtcwake: add S5 support
Based on patch from
Piergiorgio Sartor <piergiorgio.sartor@nexgo.de>
at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449115
Piergiorgio's note about S5:
> According to the ACPI specifications, chapter 4.7.2.4 "Real Time
> Clock Alarm", the wakeup from RTC, when supported, should work from
> *sleep* state S1-S3 and, optionally, from S4.
>
> Note 3 (same chapter) says that S5 is *not* a sleep state and should
> not be supported. Actually it also says that: "The OS will disable
> the RTC_EN bit prior to entering the G2/S5 or G3 states regardless."
>
> Nevertheless, on all PC supporting the RTC wakeup I tested, all were
> able to wake from S5.
In the check_blocks() loop, current_page is not incremented. Because of this
bug, the loop does not end when the end of the device is reached. Instead it
tries to continue reading, which of course fails, and eventually mkswap aborts
("too many bad pages").
Note that this can only be tested with swap partitions, mkswap ignores the -c
option for swap files.

hwclocks: use time limit for KDGHWCLK busy wait
Currently the busy wait in synchronize_to_clock_tick_kd() is

(1.5s). We already use this method for RTC.

mount: mention mtab for single mount point mount in mount.8

trying to found mountpoint/device in fstab and then in mtab.
I guess the original purpose for this feature is user-friendly 'mount
/node -o remount'. Unfortunately, the code does not check for
MS_REMOUNT flag and consults mtab in all cases. (The code is
consulting fstab/mtab before mount options parsing.)"
