Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
from the NFS client. To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
nfs_inode structure adequately. Start by serializing updates to the
"cache_validity" field.
Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
"cache_validity" field without proper serialization.
Test plan:
Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients. Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on
large SMP clients.

Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's
"flags" field.
Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc
locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from
nfs_inode at the same time.
The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR.
This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently. The
following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock
will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost
of using this type of serialization.

Certain bits in nfsi->flags can be manipulated with atomic bitops, and some
are better manipulated via logical bitmask operations.
This patch splits the flags field into two. The next patch introduces atomic
bitops for one of the fields.

NFSv3 currently returns the unsigned 64-bit cookie directly to
userspace. The following patch causes the kernel to generate
loff_t offsets for the benefit of userland.
The current server-generated READDIR cookie is cached in the
nfs_open_context instead of in filp->f_pos, so we still end up work
correctly under directory insertions/deletion.

This adds acl support fo nfs clients via the NFSACL protocol extension, by
implementing the getxattr, listxattr, setxattr, and removexattr iops for the
system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default attributes. This patch
implements a dumb version that uses no caching (and thus adds some overhead).
(Another patch in this patchset adds caching as well.)

We should never apply a lookup intent to anything other than the last
path component in an open(), create() or access() call.
Introduce the helper nfs_lookup_check_intent() which always returns
zero if LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_PARENT are set, and returns the
intent flags if we're on the last component of the lookup.
By doing so, we fix a bug in open(O_EXCL), where we may end up
optimizing away a real lookup of the parent directory.

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!
