[0/4] dbench: few enhancements from mmtests

Message

mmtests [0] also uses dbench, and they actually carry 4 patch delta
for years. These patches are useful and should not interfere
with existing uses, so just merge these.

As noted before, I've put all this and a few of my own fixes
into my own git tree [1] and I'll be extending dbench there as well
as I see its not up to date and even debian has dropped packaging
it as it doesn't compile anymore. The one on my tree compiles more
than fine now. I'll send a few other fixes after this set.

Mel, feel free to drop those patches if you want to use my tree :)

For lack of a mailing list for dbench, I'm freeloading off of fstests
as it uses dbench as well.

Cool that someone started maintaining dbench ;). Thanks!

Thanks Luis, I expect to migrate mmtests to use your tree relatively soon!

Just so that I'm clear, you forked dbench from sahlberg's repo, right?
(git://git.samba.org/sahlberg/dbench.git) That's the one we've been
using for mmtests but I'm not sure if there is also older repos
around like from tridge.

Thanks,
