Basically, we saw a large amount of time spent in the
jfs_strfromUCS_le() function, mispredicting the branch inside the
loop, so I just added some unlikely modifiers to the if statements to
re-ordered the code. Again, these simple changes provided > 2 % on
spec-sfs, so please consider it for inclusion.

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!
