- fanotify09 added cases with subdirectory marks
- fanotify10 added cets for FAN_REPORT_NAME and ignore mask
- ioctl_loop07 added LOOP_CONFIGURE test for lo_sizelimit

* As you can see this release got the rest of the the 64bit timestamp
testcases, 64bit timestamp syscalls should be reasonably covered now

* The quickhit runtest file was removed and replaced for quick integration
tests with smoketest runtest file

* Additional 26 tests were converted to the new test library, significant part
of these were cleaned up and rewritten SystemV IPC testcases

* LTP now includes VDSO parser and explicitly tests timer VDSO functions

* The backing files for a loop devices are now created by fallocate(), if
possible, which speeds up loop device based tests quite a bit

* The build system was tweaked to produce much cleaner output,
verbose output could be enabled by setting an environment variable V=1

+ The usual amount of fixes and cleanups.


NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS
================================
brought to you by Petr Vorel

* remove RSH support (for legacy tests use SSH by default in $LTP_RSH)

* removed rsh, rcp, rlogin tests

* NFS: detect disabled UDP, expect it being disabled on v5.6+
(NFS_DISABLE_UDP_SUPPORT is default y)

* TST_NET_RHOST_RUN_DEBUG=1 enables debugging

+ various fixes and updated docs
