baaf94cdc7 exofs: Avoid using file_fsync()
The use of file_fsync() in exofs_file_sync() is not necessary since it
does some extra stuff not used by exofs. Open code just the parts that
are currently needed.

TODO: Farther optimization can be done to sync the sb only on inode
update of new files, Usually the sb update is not needed in exofs.

27d2e14919 exofs: Remove IBM copyrights
Boaz,
Congrats on getting all the OSD stuff into 2.6.30!
I just pulled the git, and saw that the IBM copyrights are still there.
Please remove them from all files:
 * Copyright (C) 2005, 2006
 * International Business Machines

IBM has revoked all rights on the code - they gave it to me.

Thanks!
Avishay

ba9e5e98ca exofs: super_operations and file_system_type
This patch ties all operation vectors into a file system superblock
and registers the exofs file_system_type at module's load time.

* The file system control block (AKA on-disk superblock) resides in
  an object with a special ID (defined in common.h).
  Information included in the file system control block is used to
  fill the in-memory superblock structure at mount time. This object
  is created before the file system is used by mkexofs.c It contains
  information such as:
	- The file system's magic number
	- The next inode number to be allocated

e6af00f1d1 exofs: dir_inode and directory operations
implementation of directory and inode operations.

* A directory is treated as a file, and essentially contains a list
  of <file name, inode #> pairs for files that are found in that
  directory. The object IDs correspond to the files' inode numbers
  and are allocated using a 64bit incrementing global counter.
* Each file's control block (AKA on-disk inode) is stored in its
  object's attributes. This applies to both regular files and other
  types (directories, device files, symlinks, etc.).

beaec07ba6 exofs: address_space_operations
OK Now we start to read and write from osd-objects. We try to
collect at most contiguous pages as possible in a single write/read.
The first page index is the object's offset.

TODO:
   In 64-bit a single bio can carry at most 128 pages.
   Add support of chaining multiple bios

e806271916 exofs: file and file_inode operations
implementation of the file_operations and inode_operations for
regular data files.

Most file_operations are generic vfs implementations except:
- exofs_truncate will truncate the OSD object as well
- Generic file_fsync is not good for none_bd devices so open code it
- The default for .flush in Linux is todo nothing so call exofs_fsync
  on the file.

b14f8ab284 exofs: Kbuild, Headers and osd utils
This patch includes osd infrastructure that will be used later by
the file system.

Also the declarations of constants, on disk structures,
and prototypes.

And the Kbuild+Kconfig files needed to build the exofs module.
