Edits to the driver-model documentation for grammar, clarity and content.

These docs haven't been updated in years, and some of the technical content
and discussion has become stale; this patch updates these.  In addition,
some of the language is awkward.  Fix this.

(I'm trying to cleanup the other files in this directory also,
patches for these will come a bit later).

This is a fix to the device-mapper-log-bitset-fix-endian patch that
switched to ext2_* versions of the set and clear bit functions.  The
find_next_zero_bit function also has to be the ext2 one.  Otherwise the
mirror target tries to recover non-existent regions beyond the end of
device.

While a read-only array doesn't not really need a bitmap, we should
not remove the bitmap when switching an array to read-only because
 a/ There is no code to re-add the bitmap which switching to read-write,
 b/ There is insufficient locking - the bitmap could be accessed while it is
    being removed.

As 'array_size' is a 'sector_t', it may overflow inappropriately when shifted
10 bits.  So We should cast it to a loff_t first.

There are two places with this problem, but the second (in update_raid_disks)
isn't needed so just remove it:
  The only personality that handles ->reshape currently is raid1,
  and it doesn't change the size of the array.
  When added for raid5/6, reshape again won't change the size of the array,
  at least not straight away.
  This code might be need for reshaping 'linear' but linear->shape,
  if implemented, should probably do the i_size_write itself.

Problem caused by the fact that the code used to only pick the low 16

Most of the 64 bit architectures will zero extend the first argument to
compat_sys_{openat,newfstatat,futimesat} which will fail if the 32 bit
syscall was passed AT_FDCWD (which is a small negative number).  Declare
the first argument to be an unsigned int which will force the correct
sign extension when the internal functions are called in each case.

Also, do some small white space cleanups in fs/compat.c.

 This fixes a bug whereby if two processes try to look up the same auth_gss

 The function rpc_timeout_upcall_queue runs from a workqueue, and hence
 sleeping is not recommended. Convert the protection of the upcall queue
 from being mutex-based to being spinlock-based.
Signed-off-by: NTrond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

 When we look up a new cred in the auth_gss downcall so that we can stuff
 the credcache, we do not want that lookup to queue up an upcall in order
 to initialise it. To do an upcall here not only redundant, but since we
 are already holding the inode->i_mutex, it will trigger a lock recursion.

 This patch allows rpcauth cache searches to indicate that they can cope
 with uninitialised credentials.

 If the server returns NLM_LCK_DENIED_NOLOCKS, we currently retry the
 entire NLM_CANCEL request. This may end up looping forever unless the
 server changes its mind (why would it do that, though?).

 Ensure that we limit the number of retries (to 3).

 The OpenGroup docs state that the arguments "block", "exclusive" and
 "alock" must exactly match the arguments for the lock call that we are
 trying to cancel.
 Currently, "block" is always set to false, which is wrong.

In data=journal mode, reiserfs writepage needs to make sure not to trigger

cause lock inversions on the page lock.  Instead, do simple batching from
