Create the journal in the middle of the filesystem
This speeds up access to the journal by eliminating worst-case seeks
from one end of the disk to another, which can be quite common in very
fsync-intensive workloads if the file is located near the end of the
disk, and the journal is located the beginning of the disk.
In addition, this can help eliminate journal fragmentation when
flex_bg is enabled, since the first block group has a large amount of
metadata.

libblkid: Optimize devicemapper support
This commit works by removing all calls from libdevmapper altogether,
and using the standard support for "normal" non-dm devices.
It depends on dm devices being placed in /dev/mapper (but the previous
code had this dependency anyway), and /proc/partitions containing dm
devices.
We don't actually rip out the libdevmapper code in this commit, but
just disable it via #undef HAVE_DEVMAPPER, just so it's easier to
review and understand the fundamental code changes. A subsequent
commit will remove the libdevmapper code, as well as unexport
the blkid_devdirs string array.
Thanks to Karel Zak for inspiring me to look at the dm code in blkid,
so I could realize how much it deserved to ripped out by its roots. :-)

OS/2 and DFSee creates a pseudo FAT-12/16 header in the first 512

mkfs.ext4 -t ext4dev -G512 70G

and 511 are placed just after group 51's inode table instead of being
placed after group 509's inode table.

time we don't want to blow away any user-specific customizations.
So if /etc/mk2fs.conf exists, but does not mention ext4dev, we will
move it aside to /etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fsprogs-old and then install the
new mke2fs.conf. If the /etc/mke2fs.conf file exists but does mention
ext4dev, we install the new mke2fs.conf file as
/etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fsprogs-new. In both cases we print a warning
mesage to the user so they can manually update /etc/mke2fs.conf with
any changes if they so desire.
