"Hello world!" linked against libselinux parses /proc/mounts and
whatever else on startup, even when the lib is not needed at all.
Not funny! Get rid of that thing where it's not absolutely needed.
Some broken usb-storage devices implement multiple
luns with all the same SCSI identifiers. Append the
target:lun to get unique names in /dev/disk/by-id/.
This scheme is more consistent and makes it obvious if a match happens
against the event device only, or the full chain of parent devices.
The old key names are now:
BUS -> SUBSYSTEMS
ID -> KERNELS
SYSFS -> ATTRS
DRIVER -> DRIVERS
Match keys for the event device:
KERNEL
SUBSYSTEM
ATTR
DRIVER (in a future release, for now the same as DRIVERS)
Match keys for all devices along the parent device chain:
KERNELS
SUBSYSTEMS
ATTRS
DRIVERS
ID, BUS, SYSFS are no longer mentioned in the man page but still work.
DRIVER must be converted to DRIVERS to match the new scheme. For now,
an error is logged, if DRIVER is used. In a future release, the DRIVER
key behaviour will change.
Request specific parents identified by subsystem and don't rely on
a predefined sequence.
Also let the devpath be longer than 72 chars, tsss ...

We never used any of the libsysfs convenience features. Here we replace
it completely with 300 lines of code, which are much simpler and a bit
faster cause udev(d) does not open any syfs file for a simple event which
does not need any parent device information.

After beeing hit by proprietary applications which statically
link the LGPL'd libusb, which needs a patch to reflect the recent
kernel changes, I decided not to provide LGPL code anymore.

Solaris uses volume_id now and they fiddled around with configure scripts
to map the linux kernel int types. Adding the types locally to volume_id
breaks the klibc build, so just switch to these ugly types and forget it. :)

Some architectures really want well alingned structures.
