This one is a lot more complicated than the previous ones. XFS already had a
very clever scheme for supporting 64bit inode numbers in filehandles, and I've
reworked this to be some kind of a prototype for the generic 64bit inode
filehandle support.

Currently XFs has three different fid types: struct fid, struct xfs_fid
and struct xfs_fid2 with hte latter two beeing identicaly and the first
one beeing the same size but an unstructured array with the same size.
This patch consolidates all this to alway uuse struct xfs_fid.
This patch is required for an upcoming patch series from me that revamps
the nfs exporting code and introduces a Linux-wide struct fid.

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!
