Subject: [PATCH] fs: Introducing Lanyard Filesystem

This patch introduces the Lanyard Filesystem (LanyFS), a filesystem
for highly mobile and removable storage devices.

Signed-off-by: Dan Luedtke <mail@...rl.de>

"Release early, release often" they said. Here is my work of the
past weeks. This is a RFC patch, so please comment, criticize, suggest
and test test test. Of course patches are welcome, too.

LanyFS specification and further documentation as long as essential
filesystem utilities can be found at https://www.nonattached.net/lanyfs/

+	  devices, particularly those small gadgets one would carry around
+	  using a lanyard.
+
+	  LanyFS is highly experimental.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.

+	  Enables debugging for the lanyard file system (LanyFS).
+
+	  Selecting Y will produce a lot of kernel messages and it will slow
