The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
namespace, for example. In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
access to the handler prefix. To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
to operations instead of the flags value alone.

Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple
handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.
Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
e.g. cifs.

Christoph Hellwig had asked me quite some time ago to port the reiserfs
xattrs to the generic xattr interface.
This patch replaces the reiserfs-specific xattr handling code with the
generic struct xattr_handler.
However, since reiserfs doesn't split the prefix and name when accessing
xattrs, it can't leverage generic_{set,get,list,remove}xattr without
needlessly reconstructing the name on the back end.
Update 7/26/07: Added missing dput() to deletion path.
Update 8/30/07: Added missing mark_inode_dirty when i_mode is used to
represent an ACL and no previous ACL existed.

This was a pure indentation change, using:
scripts/Lindent fs/reiserfs/*.c include/linux/reiserfs_*.h
to make reiserfs match the regular Linux indentation style. As Jeff
Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> writes:
The ReiserFS code is a mix of a number of different coding styles, sometimes
different even from line-to-line. Since the code has been relatively stable
for quite some time and there are few outstanding patches to be applied, it
is time to reformat the code to conform to the Linux style standard outlined
in Documentation/CodingStyle.
This patch contains the result of running scripts/Lindent against
fs/reiserfs/*.c and include/linux/reiserfs_*.h. There are places where the
code can be made to look better, but I'd rather keep those patches separate
so that there isn't a subtle by-hand hand accident in the middle of a huge
patch. To be clear: This patch is reformatting *only*.
A number of patches may follow that continue to make the code more consistent
with the Linux coding style.
Hans wasn't particularly enthusiastic about these patches, but said he
wouldn't really oppose them either.

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!
