Dissociate the generic_writepages() function from the mpage stuff, moving its
declaration to linux/mm.h and actually emitting a full implementation into
mm/page-writeback.c.
The implementation is a partial duplicate of mpage_writepages() with all BIO
references removed.
It is used by NFS to do writeback.

When a writeback_control's `start' and `end' fields are used to
indicate a one-byte-range starting at file offset zero, the required
values of .start=0,.end=0 mean that the ->writepages() implementation
has no way of telling that it is being asked to perform a range
request. Because we're currently overloading (start == 0 && end == 0)
to mean "this is not a write-a-range request".
To make all this sane, the patch changes range of writeback_control.
So caller does: If it is calling ->writepages() to write pages, it
sets range (range_start/end or range_cyclic) always.
And if range_cyclic is true, ->writepages() thinks the range is
cyclic, otherwise it just uses range_start and range_end.
This patch does,
- Add LLONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, ULLONG_MAX to include/linux/kernel.h
-1 is usually ok for range_end (type is long long). But, if someone did,
range_end += val; range_end is "val - 1"
u64val = range_end >> bits; u64val is "~(0ULL)"
or something, they are wrong. So, this adds LLONG_MAX to avoid nasty
things, and uses LLONG_MAX for range_end.
- All callers of ->writepages() sets range_start/end or range_cyclic.
- Fix updates of ->writeback_index. It seems already bit strange.
If it starts at 0 and ended by check of nr_to_write, this last
index may reduce chance to scan end of file. So, this updates
->writeback_index only if range_cyclic is true or whole-file is
scanned.

This patch changes mpage_readpages() and get_block() to get the disk mapping
information for multiple blocks at the same time.
b_size represents the amount of disk mapping that needs to mapped. On the
successful get_block() b_size indicates the amount of disk mapping thats
actually mapped. Only the filesystems who care to use this information and
provide multiple disk blocks at a time can choose to do so.
No changes are needed for the filesystems who wants to ignore this.

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)

readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to
understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of
writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that
the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again
with a new page. OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in
its aop methods. There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't
return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE.
WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are
made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

When fsync() runs wait_on_page_writeback_range() it only inspects pages which
are actually under I/O (PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK). If a page completed I/O
prior to wait_on_page_writeback_range() looking at it, it is supposed to have
recorded its I/O error state in the address_space.
But mpage_mpage_end_io_write() forgot to set the address_space error flag in
this case.

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!
