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.

All vfs ops now take struct xfs_mount pointers and the behaviour related
glue is split out into methods of its own.

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!
