Minimal patch removing uses of ROOT_DEV; next patch unexports it. I've
opposed this, but I've planned to reintroduce the functionality without using
ROOT_DEV.

Remove old useless header that was used in Ye Olde Times during 2.4->2.5
porting to abstract differences. It's definitions are no more used anyway, so
let's finally kill it.

This cleans up the error handling and fixes a crash if a hostfs mount fails.

Use this:
.set_page_dirty = __set_page_dirty_nobuffers,
We already dropped the inclusion of <linux/buffer_head.h>, and we don't have a
backing block device for this FS.
"Without having looked at it, I'm sure that hostfs does not use buffer_heads.
So setting your ->set_page_dirty a_op to point at __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
is a reasonable thing to do - it'll provide a slight speedup."
This speedup is one less spinlock held and one less conditional branch, which
isn't bad.

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!
