REISERFS_FS — ReiserFS support

This is a journaled filesystem that stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced tree. Balanced trees can be more efficient than traditional file system architectural foundations.

In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is more efficient with large directories and small files.
