This improves the comments at the top of many functions. It didn't
dive into the guts of functions because I was trying to
avoid merging problems with the new allocator and back reference work.
extent-tree.c and volumes.c were both skipped, and there is definitely
more work todo in cleaning and commenting the code.

Btrfs had compatibility code for kernels back to 2.6.18. These have
been removed, and will be maintained in a separate backport
git tree from now on.

This means that subvolumes get a different fsid, and NFS exporting them
works properly.

Here's an implementation of NFS support for btrfs. It relies on the
fixes which are going in to 2.6.28 for the NFS readdir/lookup deadlock.
This uses the btrfs_iget helper introduced previously.
[dwmw2: Tidy up a little, switch to d_obtain_alias() w/compat routine,
change fh_type, store parent's root object ID where needed,
fix some get_parent() and fs_to_dentry() bugs]

The btree defragger wasn't making forward progress because the new key wasn't
being saved by the btrfs_search_forward function.
This also disables the automatic btree defrag, it wasn't scaling well to
huge filesystems. The auto-defrag needs to be done differently.

This creates one kthread for commits and one kthread for
deleting old snapshots. All the work queues are removed.

Extent alloctions are still protected by a large alloc_mutex.
Objectid allocations are covered by a objectid mutex
Other btree operations are protected by a lock on individual btree nodes

mount -o thread_pool_size changes the default, which is
min(num_cpus + 2, 8). Larger thread pools would make more sense on
very large disk arrays.
This mount option controls the max size of each thread pool. There
are multiple thread pools, so the total worker count will be larger
than the mount option.

max_inline=0 used to force the max_inline size to one sector instead. Now
it properly disables inline data items, while still being able to read
any that happen to exist on disk.

Allows to specify one or multiple device=/dev/foo options during mount
so that ioctls on the control device can be avoided. Especially useful
when trying to mount a multi-device setup as root.

These ioctls let a user application hold a transaction open while it
performs a series of operations. A final ioctl does a sync on the fs
(closing the current transaction). This is the main requirement for
Ceph's OSD to be able to keep the data it's storing in a btrfs volume
consistent, and AFAICS it works just fine. The application would do
something like
fd = ::open("some/file", O_RDONLY);
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_START);
/* do a bunch of stuff */
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_END);
or just
::close(fd);
And to ensure it commits to disk,
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_SYNC);
When a transaction is held open, the trans_handle is attached to the
struct file (via private_data) so that it will get cleaned up if the
process dies unexpectedly. A held transaction is also ended on fsync() to
avoid a deadlock.
A misbehaving application could also deliberately hold a transaction open,
effectively locking up the FS, so it may make sense to restrict something
like this to root or something.

This required a few structural changes to the code that manages bdev pointers:
The VFS super block now gets an anon-bdev instead of a pointer to the
lowest bdev. This allows us to avoid swapping the super block bdev pointer
around at run time.
The code to read in the super block no longer goes through the extent
buffer interface. Things got ugly keeping the mapping constant.

There is now extent_map for mapping offsets in the file to disk and
extent_io for state tracking, IO submission and extent_bufers.
The new extent_map code shifts from [start,end] pairs to [start,len], and
pushes the locking out into the caller. This allows a few performance
optimizations and is easier to use.
A number of extent_map usage bugs were fixed, mostly with failing
to remove extent_map entries when changing the file.

A number of workloads do not require copy on write data or checksumming.
mount -o nodatasum to disable checksums and -o nodatacow to disable
both copy on write and checksumming.
In nodatacow mode, copy on write is still performed when a given extent
is under snapshot.

Modified form of original patch from Christoph Hellwig to make btrfs
mount into the default subvolume by default.
mount /dev/somedevice:subvolumename to get other subvolumes or
mount /dev/somedevice:. to get the root
