The MegaRAID driver's common management module (megaraid_mm.c) creates a
char device used by the management tool "megarc" from LSI Logic (and
possibly other management tools).
In 2.6 with udev, this device doesn't get created because it is not
registered in sysfs.
I first fixed this by registering a class "megaraid_mm", but realized that
this should probably be moved to misc devices, instead of taking up a char
major. This is because only 1 device is used, even if there are multiple
adapters - the minor is never used (the adapter info is in the ioctl block
sent to the driver, not detected based on the minor number as one might
think). So it is a complete waste to have an entire major taken by this.
So it now uses a misc device which I named "megadev0" (the name that megarc
expects), and has a dynamic minor (previoulsy a dynamic major was used).
I have tested this on my own system with the megarc tool, and it works just
as fine as before (only now the device gets created correctly by udev).

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Many struct file_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.

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!
