Phillip Lougher 7657cacf47 Squashfs: Add an option to set dev block size to 4K
This commit adds an option to set the device block size used to 4K.

By default Squashfs sets the device block size (sb_min_blocksize) to 1K
or the smallest block size supported by the block device (if larger).
This, because blocks are packed together and unaligned in Squashfs,
should reduce latency.

This, however, gives poor performance on MTD NAND devices where
the optimal I/O size is 4K (even though the devices can support
smaller block sizes).

Using a 4K device block size may also improve overall I/O
performance for some file access patterns (e.g. sequential
accesses of files in filesystem order) on all media.

Phillip Lougher b7fc0ff09d Squashfs: extend decompressor framework to handle compression options
Extend decompressor framework to handle compression options stored in
the filesystem.  These options can be used by the relevant decompressor
at initialisation time to over-ride defaults.

The presence of compression options in the filesystem is indicated by
the COMP_OPT filesystem flag.  If present the data is read from the
filesystem and passed to the decompressor init function.  The decompressor
init function signature has been extended to take this data.

Also update the init function signature in the glib, lzo and xz
decompressor wrappers.

Phillip Lougher dc3256782f Squashfs: add decompressor entries for lzma and lzo
Add knowledge of lzma/lzo compression formats to the decompressor
framework.  For now these are added as unsupported.  Without
these entries lzma/lzo compressed filesystems will be flagged as
having unknown compression which is undesirable.
