architecture.
This should fix the longstanding issues with xfs and old ABI arm boxes,
which lead to various asserts and xfs shutdowns, and for which an
(incorrect) patch has been floating around for years.
I've verified this patch by comparing the on-disk structure layouts using
pahole from the dwarves package, as well as running through a bit of xfsqa
under qemu-arm, modified so that the check/repair phase after each test
actually executes check/repair from the x86 host, on the filesystem
populated by the arm emulator. Thus far it all looks good.
There are 2 other structures with extra padding at the end, but they don't
seem to cause trouble. I suppose they could be packed as well:
xfs_dir2_data_unused_t and xfs_dir2_sf_t.
Note that userspace needs a similar treatment, and any filesystems which
were running with the previous rogue "fix" will now see corruption (either
in the kernel, or during xfs_repair) with this fix properly in place; it
may be worth teaching xfs_repair to identify and fix that specific issue.

Currently xfs has a rather complicated internal scheme to allow for
different directory formats in IRIX. This patch rips all code related to
this out and pushes useage of the Linux filldir callback into the lowlevel
directory code. This does not make the code any less portable because
filldir can be used to create dirents of all possible variations
(including the IRIX ones as proved by the IRIX binary emulation code under
arch/mips/).
This patch get rid of an unessecary copy in the readdir path, about 400
lines of code and one of the last two users of the uio structure.
This version is updated to deal with dmapi aswell which greatly simplifies
the get_dirattrs code. The dmapi part has been tested using the
get_dirattrs tools from the xfstest dmapi suite1 with various small and
large directories.

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!
