Changelog:

 - Fix for a crash-6.1.3 regression with respect to the loading of 
   extension modules.  Because of the change that replaced the obsolete
   _init() and _fini() functions with constructor and destructor 
   functions, extension modules may fail to load when the extension 
   modules are built with older compiler/linkers.  The problem is
   due to the continued usage of the -nostartfiles compiler option
   regardless whether the extension module has replaced its _init()
   function with a constructor function; with older compiler/linkers,
   the module may fail to load.  The fix predetermines whether an 
   extension module still uses _init() or if it has been updated to
   use a constructor function, and will use the -nostartfiles option
   only on older "legacy" modules.

 - Implemented a new "list -r" option that can be used with lists 
   that are linked with list_head structures.  When invoked, the 
   command will traverse the linked list in the reverse order by 
   using the "prev" pointer instead of "next".

 - Fix for the "swap" command's FILENAME display.  In some kernels
   between 2.6.32 and 2.6.38 the swap partition's pathname may not
   show the "/dev" filename component.

 - Fix for the "swap" command's PCT display, which will display a
   a negative percentage value if more than 5368709 swap pages are
   in use.
