A couple of updates haven't considered whether the documentation makes
sense as a whole any more. Three changes here:
- Remove the reference to the "DAC Addressing for Address Space Hungry
Devices" section which was deleted by Jan Beulich.
- Remove the comment about DMA_24BIT_MASK which became obsolete when
Tobias Klauser changed the code to actually use DMA_24BIT_MASK.
- Remove the section "64-bit DMA and DAC cycle support" since it's
fully covered above, and contains a reference to the section deleted
by Jan.

Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in
html output format when they are inside a DOC: block.
DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc
comments were. Fixed that.
However, that left a problem with <p> ($blankline_html) being processed
thru xml_escape(), converting it to <p>, which isn't good for the
generated html output (the <p> should remain unchanged), so this patch also
introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters
('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the
stream to its output file.
Please report any problems that you (anyone) see in "highlighting" in any
output mode (text, man, html, xml).

may_open() calls vfs_permission() before it does checks for IS_RDONLY(inode).
It checks _again_ inside of vfs_permission().
The check inside of vfs_permission() is going away eventually. With the
mnt_want/drop_write() functions, all of the r/o checks (except for this one)
are consistently done before calling permission(). Because of this, I'd like
to use permission() to hold a debugging check to make sure that the
mnt_want/drop_write() calls are actually being made.
So, to do this:
1. remove the IS_RDONLY() check from permission()
2. enforce that you must mnt_want_write() before
even calling permission()
3. actually add the debugging check to permission()
We need to rearrange may_open() to do r/o checks before calling permission().
Here's the patch.

Why do we need r/o bind mounts?
This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem. In the
process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
the number of writers to any given mount.
This has a number of uses. It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
writable. It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
somefilesystems. This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
tree for several years.
It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
updated. I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
working as desired. It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
bind mount of it. It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
file on the r/o mount.
This patch:
Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
file's.
This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
may patch.
Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

Most drivers for devices supporting ISA DMA can operate without DMA as well
(falling back zo PIO). Thus it seems inappropriate for PNP to fail device
initialization in case none of the possible DMA channels are available.
Instead, it should be left to the driver to decide what to do if
request_dma() fails.
The patch at once adjusts the code to account for the fact that
pnp_assign_dma() now doesn't need to report failure anymore.

Don't set 'aborted' flag on a request if it's interrupted. We have to wait
for the answer anyway, and this would only a very little time while copying
the reply.
This means, that write() on the fuse device will not return -ENOENT during
normal operation, only if the filesystem is aborted by a forced umount or
through the fusectl interface.

The VFS checks sticky bits on the parent directory even if the filesystem
defines it's own ->permission(). In some situations (sshfs, mountlo, etc) the
user does have permission to delete a file even if the attribute based
checking would not allow it.
So work around this by storing the permission bits separately and returning
them in stat(), but cutting the permission bits off from inode->i_mode.
This is slightly hackish, but it's probably not worth it to add new
infrastructure in VFS and a slight performance penalty for all filesystems,
just for the sake of fuse.
