This patch adds jfs_syncpt, which calls lmLogSync to write sync points
to the journal both in jfs_sync_fs and when sync barrier processing
completes.
lmLogSync accomplishes two things: 1) it pushes logged-but-dirty
metadata pages to disk, and 2) it writes a sync record to the journal
so that jfs_fsck doesn't need to replay more transactions than is
necessary.

jfs has never worked on architecutures where the page size was not 4K.

JFS code has always assumed a page size of 4K. This patch fixes the
non-pagecache uses of pages to deal with larger pages.

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!
