Arnd Bergmann 59d6d39f30 [PATCH] spufs: fix module refcount race
One of the two users of spufs_calls.owner still has a race
when calling try_module_get while the module is removed.
This makes it use the correct instance of owner.

Noticed by Milton Miller.

Arnd Bergmann b41305a39a [PATCH] spufs: Fix oops when spufs module is not loaded
try_module_get returns true when NULL arguments, so
we first need to check if there is a module loaded before
getting the reference count.

Arnd Bergmann 67207b9664 [PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, base
This is the current version of the spu file system, used
for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine.

This release is almost identical to the version for the
2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part
of the Cell BE Linux distribution from
http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/.

The first patch provides all the interfaces for running
spu application, but does not have any support for
debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these
functionalities are added in the subsequent patches.

See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use
spufs.
