Summary: [NOTE] fix for revlibs vs. NFS
Keywords: 


This patch purports to fix the long standing issue 
in which revlibs are icky on some NFS set-ups because
of inode signatures.

Inode signatures _had_ been watching for revlib corruption by watching
various inode fields including "st_dev".

Under some NFS set-ups, "st_dev" is not stable.

This change skips the "st_dev" comparison and handles existing
inode signature files that record it.
