Handle automatic selection of stride/stripe:
# misc/mke2fs /dev/md0
mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
Stride=16 blocks, Stripe width=32 blocks
...
And warn on block device misalignment:
# misc/mke2fs /dev/sdc1
mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
/dev/sdc1 alignment is offset by 32256 bytes.
This may result in very poor performance, (re)-partitioning suggested.
Proceed anyway? (y,n)
V2:
Add blkid_free_probe() per kzak
Add alignment check and warning message for misalignment

(Note that this will cause the build to fail if the topo stuff is
found in the system's libblkid but the local lib/blkid headers don't
define it; either needs stubs or a library move first).
