Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.
The patch was generated using the following script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
#
set -e
for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
quilt add $file
sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
mv /tmp/$$ $file
quilt refresh
done
The script was run like this
sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

The attached patch (against current -GIT) is a cleanup patch which does
following:
o lookup debug messages shifted back to 9
o added more informational value to flags and refcnt since those
entries can be in multiple referenced structures
o cleanup 80 char violation
It's the prepatch to the session pool implementation and helps very much
to debug and monitor important variables and structures regarding the
threshold limitation and persistency without the thousands of lookup
messages which noone is interested in.

To help in reducing the number of include dependencies, several files were

the patch below marks various variables const in net/; the goal is to
move them to the .rodata section so that they can't false-share
cachelines with things that get written to, as well as potentially
helping gcc a bit with optimisations. (these were found using a gcc
patch to warn about such variables)

ip_vs_ftp when loaded can create NAT connections with unknown client
port for passive FTP. For such expectations we lookup with cport=0 on
incoming packet but it matches the format of the persistence templates
causing packets to other persistent virtual servers to be forwarded to
real server without creating connection. Later the reply packets are
treated as foreign and not SNAT-ed.
This patch changes the connection lookup for packets from clients:
* introduce IP_VS_CONN_F_TEMPLATE connection flag to mark the
connection as template
* create new connection lookup function just for templates -
ip_vs_ct_in_get
* make sure ip_vs_conn_in_get hits only connections with
IP_VS_CONN_F_NO_CPORT flag set when s_port is 0. By this way
we avoid returning template when looking for cport=0 (ftp)

This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section
(read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without
memory ping pongs.
On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a
heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a
reload.

An addition to the last ipvs changes that move
update_defense_level/si_meminfo to keventd:
- ip_vs_random_dropentry now runs in process context and should use _bh
locks to protect from softirqs
- update_defense_level still needs _bh locks after si_meminfo is called,
for the same purpose

In an smp system, it is possible for an connection timer to expire, calling
ip_vs_conn_expire while the connection table is being flushed, before
ct_write_lock_bh is acquired.
Since the list iterator loop in ip_vs_con_flush releases and re-acquires the
spinlock (even though it doesn't re-enable softirqs), it is possible for the
expiration function to modify the connection list, while it is being traversed
in ip_vs_conn_flush.
The result is that the next pointer gets set to NULL, and subsequently
dereferenced, resulting in an oops.

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!
