commit 6603706eec1c39d9d591c8ffa0ef7171b74d84d6

Do not use fallocate in swap file creation on xfs. (#70)
When creating a swap file on an xfs filesystem, fallocate cannot be used.
Doing so results in failure of swapon and a message like:
swapon: swapfile has holes
The solution here is to maintain a list (currently containing only XFS)
of filesystems where fallocate cannot be used. The, on those fileystems
use the slower but functional 'dd' method.
