Now that get_block() can handle mapping multiple disk blocks, no need to have
->get_blocks(). This patch removes fs specific ->get_blocks() added for DIO
and makes it users use get_block() instead.

This patch changes mpage_readpages() and get_block() to get the disk mapping
information for multiple blocks at the same time.
b_size represents the amount of disk mapping that needs to mapped. On the
successful get_block() b_size indicates the amount of disk mapping thats
actually mapped. Only the filesystems who care to use this information and
provide multiple disk blocks at a time can choose to do so.
No changes are needed for the filesystems who wants to ignore this.

Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback
This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used
by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration.
A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some
filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature.
The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular
migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages
forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

allows us to submit much larger I/Os instead of sending down lots of small
buffer_heads. To do this we need to have a rather complicated I/O
submission and completion tracking infrastructure. Part of the latter has
been merged already a long time ago for direct I/O support. Part of the
problem is that we need to track sub-pagesize regions and for that we
still need buffer_heads for the time beeing. Long-term I hope we can move
to better data strucutures and/or maybe move this to fs/mpage.c instead of
having it in XFS. Original patch from Nathan Scott with various updates
from David Chinner and Christoph Hellwig.

- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
- missing gfp_t in fs/* added
- fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That,
BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
immediately...
One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

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!
