4b6f5d20b0 [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const
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)

f6d6d4fcd1 [XFS] Initial pass at going directly-to-bio on the buffered IO path. This
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!
