NTFS3 Kernel Module

I decided to use ntfs3 at start of porteus, here --> https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gdzuwmrramlv ... kfYbZMrUra are:
1. initrd-tm3.xz that use ntfs3 at boot
2. udev-fstab-update for ntfs3 - with this new ntfs mounts after boot would be also done by ntfs3 driver instead of ntfs-3g (without it ntfs3 at boot only if auto/automount cheatcode)
3. UFSD-utils-from-Root-Mounter-for-Android-by-Paragon-....xzm - some utils like fsck for ntfs, mount_ufsd_fuse - for example to test its speed

Changes to booting of Porteus:
4. If fsck cheatcode is used then ntfs partitions are check with paragon chkntfs -a -f
5. and be pressing any letter(key) while blue background is displayed you can stop booting to read easy output of fsck commands
6. this initrd includes also cheatcodes from this topic:
New initrd.xz and cheatcodes (boot parameters) for Porteus

7. ntfs-3g provide also mount.lowntfs-3g - it uses a lower-level FUSE API, and it seems it's faster than mount.ntfs-3g (amazing?, as fast as the ext4!?)
8. Microsoft NTFS by Tuxera (not ntfs-3g) is a commercial-grade file system implementation that is 6X faster than open-source alternatives.

ad. 1) probably uid=1000,gid=100 would be useful option at boot, now is's omitted
