HAL testers needed

[Joe Marcus Clarke]

If you have cycles, please test the following patch to devel/libvolumeid
and let me know if you encounter any adverse issues.  This patch
increases the superblock buffer size from 0x11000 to 0x88000 since
FreeBSD does not support lseek'ing correctly on certain device nodes
(e.g. acd/cd).

The upside of this patch is that UDF volumes should now be properly
detected.  There should be no downsides (except higher temporary memory
usage by HAL's probers).  If you do not have any UDF volumes, you should
not notice any differences.

To apply this patch, create devel/libvolumeid/files, and copy this patch
(patch-util.h) into this directory, rebuild and reinstall libvolumeid,
then restart hald.  Be sure to take a snapshot of lshal BEFORE applying
the patch, then another after applying the patch.  There should be NO
differences unless you have UDF volumes.
