Currently the low-level buffer cache interfaces are highly confusing
as we have a _flags variant of each that does actually respect the
flags, and one without _flags which has a flags argument that gets
ignored and overriden with a default set. Given that very few places
use the default arguments get rid of the duplication and convert all
callers to pass the flags explicitly. Also remove the now confusing
_flags postfix.

The guarantees for O_SYNC are exactly the same as the ones we need to
make for an fsync call (and given that Linux O_SYNC is O_DSYNC the
equivalent is fdadatasync, but we treat both the same in XFS), except
with a range data writeout. Jan Kara has started unifying these two
path for filesystems using the generic helpers, and I've started to
look at XFS.
The actual transaction commited by xfs_fsync and xfs_write_sync_logforce
has a different transaction number, but actually is exactly the same.
We'll only use the fsync transaction going forward. One major difference
is that xfs_write_sync_logforce never issues a cache flush unless we
commit a transaction causing that as a side-effect, which is an obvious
bug in the O_SYNC handling. Second all the locking and i_update_size
vs i_update_core changes from 978b723712
never made it to xfs_write_sync_logforce, so we add them back.
To make xfs_fsync easily usable from the O_SYNC path, the filemap_fdatawait
call is moved up to xfs_file_fsync, so that we don't wait on the whole
file after we already waited for our portion in xfs_write.
We'll also use a plain call to filemap_write_and_wait_range instead
of the previous sync_page_rang which did it in two steps including
an half-hearted inode write out that doesn't help us.
Once we're done with this also remove the now useless i_update_size
tracking.

This patch rips out the XFS ACL handling code and uses the generic
fs/posix_acl.c code instead. The ondisk format is of course left
unchanged.
This also introduces the same ACL caching all other Linux filesystems do
by adding pointers to the acl and default acl in struct xfs_inode.

Replace the b_fspriv pointer and it's ugly accessors with a properly types
xfs_mount pointer. Also switch log reocvery over to it instead of using
b_fspriv for the mount pointer.

The xfs_buf_t b_iodonesema is really just a semaphore that wants to be a
completion. Change it to a completion and remove the last user of the
sema_t from XFS.

xfs_log_force() is declared to return an error, but we almost never check
it. We don't need to check it in most cases; if there's a log I/O error
then we'll be shutting down the filesystem anyway and that means we'll
catch the error somewhere else.
However, on certain calls we should be returning an error - sync
transactions, fsync, sync writes, etc. so this isn't a pure black and
white distinction. Hence make xfs_log_force() a void function that issues
a warning to the syslog on error, and call _xfs_log_force() in all the
places where we actually care about the error status returned.

xfs_mac.h and xfs_cap.h provide definitions and macros that aren't used
anywhere in XFS at all. They are left-overs from "to be implement at some
point in the future" functionality that Irix XFS has. If this
functionality ever goes into Linux, it will be provided at a different
layer, most likely through the security hooks in the kernel so we will
never need this functionality in XFS.

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!
