A common source of confusion within tuned is the lack of suffix
on the readahead specification in the throughput-performance
tuned.conf. This confusion is resolved, in general, by comparing
the value, for example, to blockdev or lvdisplay output. Avoid
future end-user confusion by adding a comment to the
throughput-performance tuned.conf file, explaining that the default
is in KiB, and noting the allowance of a sector suffix as well.

Added new tuned-adm functionality 'profile_info'. It has optional parameter
'profile_name'. If called without parameter, active profile is used.
It outputs name of the profile it is querying, profile summary, and profile
description. If there is no profile summary or description available it
outputs empty string(s).
Extended tuned-adm 'list' functionality. It now displays profile summary
in the list (if available).
Added summary to profiles.
Extended D-Bus API to support the new feature and for better Cockpit support:
- Added 'profile_info' method. It gets profile_name argument and it queries
the requested profile for information. If profile_name is empty string it
queries the active/selected profile. It returns tuple of the following
format (status, profile_name, summary, description), where status is
boolean. If it is False, the query mechanism failed and the other fields
don't contain valid data
- Added 'profiles2' method. It's extension of 'profiles' method. It returns
list of tuples. Tuples have following format:
(profile_name, profile_summary)

These modifiers can specify when to assign new value considering
the old value.
E.g.:
readahead=>4096
means assign readahead 4096 only if the current value of readahaed
is lower than 4096 (i.e. the readahaed will be at least 4096).
Similarly for the < operator, it will assign the value only
if the current value is higher.
The modifiers are part of the value, not part of the equality
operator, thus the following is correct:
readahead= >4096
But the following isn't correct, but will probably also work
due to the nature how the value is parsed:
readahead=> 4096
