Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] mke2fs: small doc and features

Four independent fixes for mke2fs:

1) document the hash_seed option
2) support multiple '-E' arguments 
3) add extended option for setting root inode security context
4) minor indentation fix in man page

For the third one, the main use case is when generating empty
filesystems for use when SELinux is enabled.
