trustchk needs an option to specify volume group or logical volume (jf2/jfs2) when using the 'tree' option

trustchk has an option (-i) so that it ignores NFS mounted objects. Also needed is a way to limit the 'tree' option to only rootvg, or better to a specific volume group or logical partition (jfs/jfs2).

On a AIX node with multiple volume groups, terabytes and more of storage, and millions of files - this process can take days. And, there area you want it to search - may be days before it gets there.

Additional features (perhaps internal):
- checkpoint, so that it can restart where it left off. Compareable with mksysb/savevg that first makes a list of what it will backup - now a list of what (remains) to be checked.
- Again, like mysysb/savevg: an exclusion list/pattern
- like syncvg - an option to specify the number of threads (seems mono-threaded now).
- background (detached) processing - rather than using ampersand and/or ctrl-Z; bg

    We have not been able to contain this work for the past 2 years/
    For LV mounted with file system, one can simply use the root of the file system with trustchk. One can launch multiple trustchk if there are multiple file systems.
