Moved the attributes into a group, making the compiler be quiet about
ignoring the return value of the file create calls.  This also also
fixed a bug when removing the files, which were not symlinks.

This patch addresses the concern that the aoe driver should
not introduce unecessary conventions that must be learned by
the reader.  It reverts patch 6.

Modify well over a dozen mempool users to call mempool_create_slab_pool()
rather than calling mempool_create() with extra arguments, saving about 30
lines of code and increasing readability.

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.

[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets ->start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.

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!
