Hi Hans,

Thanks for fixing that.
However, while the result does compile on rawhide, it fails to compile on F12:

  In file included from arch/linux.c:22:
  ./arch/linux.h:43: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 
'blkid_topology'
  arch/linux.c: In function 'linux_get_minimum_alignment':
  arch/linux.c:2526: error: 'blkid_topology' undeclared (first use in this 
function)
  ...
  arch/linux.c:2539: error: expected ';' before 'tp'

Also, in the future, please insert notes like the one above after
the "---" line in git format-patch output.  Otherwise it ends
up in the git commit log and I might have to (or forget to) amend it out.

Also, please limit the commit log line length to 72 characters,
since the git log is used to automatically generate a ChangeLog file
and that procedure deliberately does not wrap long lines.

That latter is why we prefer at least some mention of what files
and functions (in standard ChangeLog notation) are affected by
each patch -- see other log entries for examples.

Finally, any significant change like this needs at least a
trace of testing.  Preferably a new script in tests/ that exercises
any new code.  That makes it trivial to ensure that in the covered
code paths there are no new leaks or obvious-to-valgrind problems.
If you don't have time to write the test, give me a few hints
and I'll do that.

I see that with this patch series on rawhide, nearly every single test
that is run via "make check" (as non-root) now fails.
Did "make check" pass for you?
