This patch ties all operation vectors into a file system superblock
and registers the exofs file_system_type at module's load time.
* The file system control block (AKA on-disk superblock) resides in
an object with a special ID (defined in common.h).
Information included in the file system control block is used to
fill the in-memory superblock structure at mount time. This object
is created before the file system is used by mkexofs.c It contains
information such as:
- The file system's magic number
- The next inode number to be allocated

implementation of directory and inode operations.
* A directory is treated as a file, and essentially contains a list
of <file name, inode #> pairs for files that are found in that
directory. The object IDs correspond to the files' inode numbers
and are allocated using a 64bit incrementing global counter.
* Each file's control block (AKA on-disk inode) is stored in its
object's attributes. This applies to both regular files and other
types (directories, device files, symlinks, etc.).

Most file_operations are generic vfs implementations except:

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

struct proc_dir_entry::owner is going to be removed. Now it's only necessary
to protect PDEs which are using ->read_proc, ->write_proc hooks.
However, ->owner assignments are racy and make it very easy for someone to switch
->owner on live PDE (as some subsystems do) without fixing refcounts and so on.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454
So, ->owner is on death row.
Proxy file operations exist already (proc_file_operations), just bump usecount
when necessary.

The current reiserfs xattr implementation open codes reiserfs_readdir
and frees the path before calling the filldir function. Typically, the
filldir function is something that modifies the file system, such as a
chown or an inode deletion that also require reading of an inode
associated with each direntry. Since the file system is modified, the
path retained becomes invalid for the next run. In addition, it runs
backwards in attempt to minimize activity.
This is clearly suboptimal from a code cleanliness perspective as well
as performance-wise.
This patch implements a generic reiserfs_for_each_xattr that uses the
generic readdir and a specific filldir routine that simply populates an
array of dentries and then performs a specific operation on them. When
all files have been operated on, it then calls the operation on the
directory itself.
The result is a noticable code reduction and better performance.

Deadlocks are possible in the xattr code between the journal lock and the
xattr sems.
This patch implements journalling for xattr operations. The benefit is
twofold:
* It gets rid of the deadlock possibility by always ensuring that xattr
write operations are initiated inside a transaction.
* It corrects the problem where xattr backing files aren't considered any
differently than normal files, despite the fact they are metadata.
I discussed the added journal load with Chris Mason, and we decided that
since xattrs (versus other journal activity) is fairly rare, the introduction
of larger transactions to support journaled xattrs wouldn't be too big a deal.

Christoph Hellwig had asked me quite some time ago to port the reiserfs
xattrs to the generic xattr interface.
This patch replaces the reiserfs-specific xattr handling code with the
generic struct xattr_handler.
However, since reiserfs doesn't split the prefix and name when accessing
xattrs, it can't leverage generic_{set,get,list,remove}xattr without
needlessly reconstructing the name on the back end.

The current reiserfs xattr implementation will not clean up old xattr
files if files are deleted when REISERFS_FS_XATTR is unset. This
results in inaccessible lost files, wasting space.
This patch compiles in basic xattr knowledge, such as how to delete them
and change ownership for quota tracking. If the file system has never
used xattrs, then the operation is quite fast: it returns immediately
when it sees there is no .reiserfs_priv directory.

This patch fixes up the reiserfs code such that transaction ids are
always unsigned ints. In places they can currently be signed ints or
unsigned longs.
The former just causes an annoying clm-2200 warning and may join a
transaction when it should wait.
The latter is just for correctness since the disk format uses a 32-bit
transaction id. There aren't any runtime problems that result from it
not wrapping at the correct location since the value is truncated
correctly even on big endian systems. The 0 value might make it to
disk, but the mount-time checks will bump it to 10 itself.
