XFS has a mode called invisble I/O that doesn't update any of the
timestamps. It's used for HSM-style applications and exposed through
the nasty open by handle ioctl.
Instead of doing directly assignment of file operations that set an
internal flag for it add a new FMODE_NOCMTIME flag that we can check
in the normal file operations.
(addition of the generic VFS flag has been ACKed by Al as an interims
solution)

xfs_ichtime updates the xfs_inode and Linux inode timestamps just fine, no
need to call file_update_time and then copy the values over to the XFS
inode. The only additional thing in file_update_time are checks not
applicable to the write path.

Sanitize setting up the Linux indode.
Setting up the xfs_inode <-> inode link is opencoded in xfs_iget_core now
because that's the only place it needs to be done, xfs_initialize_vnode is
renamed to xfs_setup_inode and loses all superflous paramaters. The check
for I_NEW is removed because it always is true and the di_mode check moves
into xfs_iget_core because it's only needed there.
xfs_set_inodeops and xfs_revalidate_inode are merged into xfs_setup_inode
and the whole things is moved into xfs_iops.c where it belongs.

In several places we directly convert from the XFS inode
to the linux (VFS) inode by a simple deference of ip->i_vnode.
We should not do this - a helper function should be used to
extract the VFS inode from the XFS inode.
Introduce the function VFS_I() to extract the VFS inode
from the XFS inode. The name was chosen to match XFS_I() which
is used to extract the XFS inode from the VFS inode.

Use the generic set, get and removexattr methods and supply the s_xattr
array with fine-grained handlers. All XFS/Linux highlevel attr handling is
rewritten from scratch and placed into fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_xattr.c so
that it's separated from the generic low-level code.

This implements the code to store the actual filename found during a
lookup in the dentry cache and to avoid multiple entries in the dcache
pointing to the same inode.
To avoid polluting the dcache, we implement a new directory inode
operations for lookup. xfs_vn_ci_lookup() stores the correct case name in
the dcache.
The "actual name" is only allocated and returned for a case- insensitive
match and not an actual match.
Another unusual interaction with the dcache is not storing negative
dentries like other filesystems doing a d_add(dentry, NULL) when an ENOENT
is returned. During the VFS lookup, if a dentry returned has no inode,
dput is called and ENOENT is returned. By not doing a d_add, this actually
removes it completely from the dcache to be reused. create/rename have to
be modified to support unhashed dentries being passed in.

All vnode ops now take struct xfs_inode pointers and the behaviour related
glue is split out into methods of it's own. This required fixing
xfs_create/mkdir/symlink to not mess with the inode pointer but rather use
a separate boolean for error handling. Thanks to Dave Chinner for that
fix.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups
The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

allows us to submit much larger I/Os instead of sending down lots of small
buffer_heads. To do this we need to have a rather complicated I/O
submission and completion tracking infrastructure. Part of the latter has
been merged already a long time ago for direct I/O support. Part of the
problem is that we need to track sub-pagesize regions and for that we
still need buffer_heads for the time beeing. Long-term I hope we can move
to better data strucutures and/or maybe move this to fs/mpage.c instead of
having it in XFS. Original patch from Nathan Scott with various updates
from David Chinner and Christoph Hellwig.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
