Description:

   This update for sapconf fixes the following issues:

   - Check the values of the 'vm.dirty_*' settings to be in a valid range
     before activating or restoring these system values. (bsc#1168067)
   - Add a logrotate drop-in file for sapconf to control the size of the
     logfile. (bsc#1166925)
   - Implement and use the system wide security limits. (bsc#1168840)
   - Add support multi-queued scheduler for block devices. (jsc#SLE-11141,
     jsc#SLE-11144)
   - Remove usage of tuned from sapconf (jsc#SLE-10986, jsc#SLE-10989):
     - Only ONE configuration file for sapconf
     - All parameters of the tuned profile defined in tuned.conf sapconf
     - Implement Switching a sapconf profile.
     - Prevent sapconf related tuned error messages by turning off tuned in
       the preinstall phase and  removing the 'active' sapconf profile.
   - If sapconf detects an improper tuned profile during start notes that the
     log, fails the start deliberatly and guides the administrator to the
     problem. (bsc#1139176)
   - Use absolute path in the configuration file. (bsc#1124453)
   - Replace the delimiter for a sed command in postinstall script, because
