If MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE is set, then this will override the logical
sector size, which is the smallest sector size that can be written
atomically by the device. (Previously MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE set the
physical sector size, which was incorrect given its historical usage.)
The environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_PHYS_SECTSIZE will set the
physical sector size, which is the actual sector size used by the
device in reality.
The logical sector size is always less than or equal to the physical
sector size; and writes smaller than the physical sector size but
greather than or equal to the logical sector size will cause a
read-modify-write cycle within the device firmware (or in some
abstract layer lower than the Linux block I/O subsystem, at any rate).

If the device does not have an explicitly specified minimum io_size or
optimal io_size, and the physical sector size is greater than the
block size, then use the physical sector size as a better-than-nothing
hint.
This should help for SSD's that have a physical sector size of 8k or
16k (which are reportedly will be coming soon).

There will be SSD's out soon that have 8k or 16k phyiscal block sizes.
So don't enforce a requirement that the block size be less than the
physical block size unless the force option is given, and don't give a
warning if the user can't do anything about it (i.e., if the physical
block size is > than the page size).

This adds the basic support for Direct I/O to unix_io.c, and adds a
new flag EXT_FLAG_DIRECT_IO which can be passed to ext2fs_open() or
ext2fs_open2() to request Direct I/O support.
Note that device mapper devices in Linux don't support Direct I/O, and
in some circumstances using Direct I/O can actually make performance
*worse*!

Mistakes on the commandline can lead to odd error messages:
# mke2fs -t ext4 -E stride=128 stripe-width=512 /dev/sda1
mke2fs: invalid blocks count - /dev/sda1
Making it a bit more explicit is more obvious:
mke2fs: invalid blocks count '/dev/sda1' on device 'stripe-width=512'
(hint, the mistake was no comma separation for -E)

This bit of the mke2fs manpage is slightly confusing:
-b block-size
Specify the size of blocks in bytes. <snip>
If block-size is negative, then mke2fs will use heuristics
to determine the appropriate block size, with the constraint
that the block size will be at least block-size bytes.
because it sounds like the block size will be at least a negative
number. Clarify just what the negative sign means.

Previously, ext2fs_extent_open2() copied the passed-in inode structure
into the extent handle, and the extent functions modified the copy of
the inode structure if necessary due to extent splits, etc. Change
ext2fs_extent_open2() so that the extent functions use the inode
structure passed into ext2fs_extent_open2(). Otherwise the passed-in
inode structure could become out of date due to changes made by the
extent functions.

Requiring an immediate pre-fsck before printing a minimum
resize size seems a bit draconian; if the fs isn't clean or marked
with error, then certainly, but for an informational minimum
size, I don't think we need to require a fsck since last mount.
I had simply copied the checks from the actual resize path,
previously.
Installers use this option (-P) to gather minimum resize info,
and requiring an actual fsck before use just seems to go too far.

In the case where the original superblock and the backup superblock
are both invalid in some way, e2fsck will try to go back to the
orignal superblock. To do that, it must close the attempted open
using the backup superblock first (since otherwise the exclusive open
will prevent the subsequent open from succeding).

To prevent direct array indexing of fs->group_desc[i] (because the
group_desc may be a different size for different filesystems) make it
an opaque pointer that may only be accessed through the accessor
functions in blknum.c. The type itself is still available in a public
header; if we have a group_desc that we know is one type or another,
it's ok to access its fields directly. This change only prevents us
from indexing off fs->group_desc[i] directly.
Old-style applications who don't want to change their source code can
(as a temporary short-term hack) #define EXT2FS_OLD_32_COMPAT before
including ext2fs.h.
Change the accessors in blknum.c to use ext4fs_group_desc(), a version
of ext2fs_group_desc() which returns a ext4_group_desc pointer.
This simplifies and collapses a fair bit of code in blknum.c
