[syslinux] [PATCH 0/9] linux/syslinux: support ext2/3/4 device

[Robert Yang]

Hello,

Happy New Year!

These patches make syslinux/linux support ext2/3/4, and it doesn't
require the root privilege, I'd like to add a separate e2fs/syslinux, if
that is more appropriate, it should be easy to do that.

I put these patches on github so that you can easily get them in case
you'd like to test them. (The repo's name is sys_tmp, which avoids
confusing others, I will remove the repo when these patches are
reviewed).

Please feel free to give your comments, any suggestion is appreciated.

// Robert
