Any chance of integrating at least the kernel patch into the FC
development kernel? Having to patch the kernel itself is a giant
PITA.
Honestly, I was expecting that updating to util-linux-2.12 would be a
nightmare, but it was a breeze. (Elliot, if you're reading this, Just
Do It; it'll take a lot less time than you probably think.)
The hashalot program needs some work; it's using the obsolete
getpass() function, and the memset call that is clearing the password
is almost certainly being optimized away by gcc. :( I'll fix the
latter for sure, and work on the former.
