Description:

   This update for saptune fixes the following issues:

   - Fix LVM slave devices not to be excluded when they are valid block
     devices (bsc#1194299)
   - Fix 'not compliant' state for energy_perf_bias on PowerPC systems and
     suppress misleading error message regarding missing 'mokutil'
     (bsc#1193435)
   - Remove the dependency to 'mokutil' by relying on sysfs to detect a
     secure boot environment (bsc#1193435)
   - Fix problem with command `saptune revert all`, if the saptune service
     was stopped between the two commands `apply` and `revert all`
   - Fix `saptune service enablestart|disablestop` to always perform both
     actions and no longer stop working, if the service is already
     started|stopped (bsc#1193241)
   - Fix support support for AWS x1e instances (bsc#1192029)
   - Support /etc/fstab entries with 4 instead of 6 fields and change error
     handling from 'panic' to error log messages (bsc#1193580)
   - Enhance documentation in man page 'saptune.8' with the entry 'configured
     Note' and some more descriptions of the entries from `saptune service
     status` (bsc#1192697)
   - Fix block device settings (e.g. NRREQ) for multipath devices
     (bsc#1193576)
   - Fix `saptune verify` command to report a non existing sysctl or sys
     parameter as 'not available on the system'. An additional warning is
     displayed to raise attention to typos in the parameter name.
   - Fix `saptune status` command to accurately report the unit state
     (bsc#1194334)
   - Added a hint to the man page and some additional log messages as the
     PowerPC systems (hardware architecture 'ppc64le') don't support files in
     '/sys/class/dmi'
