We now have several superblock loggin functions that are identical
except for the transaction reservation and whether it shoul dbe a
synchronous transaction or not. Consolidate these all into a single
function, a single reserveration and a sync flag and call it
xfs_sync_sb().
Also, xfs_mod_sb() is not really a modification function - it's the
operation of logging the superblock buffer. hence change the name of
it to reflect this.
Note that we have to change the mp->m_update_flags that are passed
around at mount time to a boolean simply to indicate a superblock
update is needed.

When we log changes to the superblock, we first have to write them
to the on-disk buffer, and then log that. Right now we have a
complex bitfield based arrangement to only write the modified field
to the buffer before we log it.
This used to be necessary as a performance optimisation because we
logged the superblock buffer in every extent or inode allocation or
freeing, and so performance was extremely important. We haven't done
this for years, however, ever since the lazy superblock counters
pulled the superblock logging out of the transaction commit
fast path.
Hence we have a bunch of complexity that is not necessary that makes
writing the in-core superblock to disk much more complex than it
needs to be. We only need to log the superblock now during
management operations (e.g. during mount, unmount or quota control
operations) so it is not a performance critical path anymore.
As such, remove the complex field based logging mechanism and
replace it with a simple conversion function similar to what we use
for all other on-disk structures.
This means we always log the entirity of the superblock, but again
because we rarely modify the superblock this is not an issue for log
bandwidth or CPU time. Indeed, if we do log the superblock
frequently, delayed logging will minimise the impact of this
overhead.

Trying to support tiny disks only and saving a bit memory might have
made sense on an SGI O2 15 years ago, but is pretty pointless today.
Remove the rarely tested codepath that uses various smaller in-memory
types to reduce our test matrix and make the codebase a little bit
smaller and less complicated.

To minimise the differences between kernel and userspace code,
split the kernel code into the same structure as the userspace code.
That is, the gneric core functionality of XFS is moved to a libxfs/
directory and treat it as a layering barrier in the XFS code.
This patch introduces the libxfs directory, the build infrastructure
and an initial source and header file to build. The libxfs directory
will contain the header files that are needed to build libxfs - most
of userspace does not care about the location of these header files
as they are accessed indirectly. Hence keeping them inside libxfs
makes it easy to track the changes and script the sync process as
the directory structure will be identical.
To allow this changeover to occur in the kernel code, there are some
temporary infrastructure in the makefiles to grab the header
filesystem from both locations. Once all the files are moved,
modifications will be made in the source code that will make the
need for these include directives go away.
