+Fix mke2fs to use a default block size of 4k when formatting an

Speed up how mke2fs writes the journal data blocks by writing the disk
blocks in larger chunks.
+Fix blkid handling of stale devices. Fix a bug which could cause a
+core dump while garbage collecting the blkid cache, and assure that
+blkid_find_dev_with_tag() never returns a non-existent device. Also,

Add more paranoid checks for LVM volumes and swap partitions in
