754661f143 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1
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.

f5e54d6e53 [PATCH] mark address_space_operations const
Same as with already do with the file operations: keep them in .rodata and
prevents people from doing runtime patching.

54b21a7992 [PATCH] fix possible PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT overflows
We've had two instances recently of overflows when doing

	64_bit_value = (32_bit_value << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT)

I did a tree-wide grep of `<<.*PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT' and this is the result.

- afs_rxfs_fetch_descriptor.offset is of type off_t, which seems broken.

- jfs and jffs are limited to 4GB anyway.

- reiserfs map_block_for_writepage() takes an unsigned long for the block -
  it should take sector_t.  (It'll fail for huge filesystems with
  blocksize<PAGE_CACHE_SIZE)

- cramfs_read() needs to use sector_t (I think cramsfs is busted on large
  filesystems anyway)

- affs is limited in file size anyway.

- I generally didn't fix 32-bit overflows in directory operations.

- arm's __flush_dcache_page() is peculiar.  What if the page lies beyond 4G?

- gss_wrap_req_priv() needs checking (snd_buf->page_base)

008b150a3c [PATCH] Fix up symlink function pointers
This fixes up the symlink functions for the calling convention change:

 * afs, autofs4, befs, devfs, freevxfs, jffs2, jfs, ncpfs, procfs,
   smbfs, sysvfs, ufs, xfs - prototype change for ->follow_link()
 * befs, smbfs, xfs - same for ->put_link()

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!
