ChangeLog, mke2fs.8.in, mke2fs.c:

  mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4, for
  	those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and 4MB,
  	respectively.  Allow the inode ratio specified to be has high as 4MB.
  	Make the s_max_mount_count vary between 20 and 40, to avoid needing to
  	check all of the filesystems at the same time.  Add some random jitter
  	to the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all of the
  	filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
