Autoconf rules for detecting supported functionality, please...

As I say to all these sorts of one-off test prgrams: please add the
new MAP_SYNC flag to xfs_io rather than writing a one-off
test program to set it and write some data.

And if we're going to be adding special custom tests just because
we need to insert dm-log marks, add that functionality to xfs_io,
too.

That way we can create complex custom dm logwrite tests without
needing one-off test programs for them all...

dm_log_writes?

Perhaps stat -c %b $SCRATCH_MNT/test ?

Cheers,
