Add the initial support for DAX file operations to XFS. This
includes the necessary block allocation and mmap page fault hooks
for DAX to function.
Note that there are changes to the splice interfaces to ensure that
for DAX splice avoids direct page cache manipulations and instead
takes the DAX IO paths for read/write operations.

Back in the days when the direct I/O ->end_io callback could be called
from interrupt context for AIO we needed a structure to hand off to the
workqueue, and reused the ioend structure for this purpose. These days
->end_io is always called from user or workqueue context, which allows us
to avoid this memory allocation and simplify the code significantly.
[dchinner: removed now unused xfs_finish_ioend_sync() function after
Brian Foster did an initial review. ]

Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user
context using a workqueue. This replaces opencoded and less efficient
code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO)
and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO.
The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires
a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the
direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating
with the filesystems.
Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these
completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara. I'm
not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global
workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion.
JK: Fixed ext4 part, dynamic allocation of the workqueue.

Add a XFS_ prefix to IO_DIRECT,XFS_IO_DELALLOC, XFS_IO_UNWRITTEN and
XFS_IO_OVERWRITE. This to avoid namespace conflict with other modules.

Do not use unlogged metadata updates and the VFS dirty bit for updating
the file size after writeback. In addition to causing various problems
with updates getting delayed for far too long this also drags in the
unscalable VFS dirty tracking, and is one of the few remaining unlogged
metadata updates.

The new concurrency managed workqueues are cheap enough that we can create
per-filesystem instead of global workqueues. This allows us to remove the
trylock or defer scheme on the ilock, which is not helpful once we have
outstanding log reservations until finishing a size update.
Also allow the default concurrency on this workqueues so that I/O completions
blocking on the ilock for one inode do not block process for another inode.

We now have an i_dio_count filed and surrounding infrastructure to wait
for direct I/O completion instead of i_icount, and we have never needed
to iocount waits for buffered I/O given that we only set the page uptodate
after finishing all required work. Thus remove i_iocount, and replace
the actually needed waits with calls to inode_dio_wait.

We really shouldn't complete AIO or DIO requests until we have finished
the unwritten extent conversion and size update. This means fsync never
has to pick up any ioends as all work has been completed when signalling
I/O completion.

Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the
annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large
amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few
files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary
sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from
kernel/.
