:-)

I have applied the patch below, please review. It is not perfect, but I
hope good enough for usual cases (gcc, clang).

Subject: [PATCH] switch_root: improve statfs->f_type portability

__SWORD_TYPE is not available everywhere, for example it's not defined
by musl libc. It also seems that __SWORD_TYPE is not used for f_type
on some architectures (s390x).
