Currently rpc_mkdir/rpc_rmdir and rpc_mkpipe/mk_unlink have an API that's
 a little unfortunate.  They take a path relative to the rpc_pipefs root and
 thus need to perform a full lookup.  If you look at debugfs or usbfs they
 always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in
 a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the
 above functions.

 And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so
 this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers.

 Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and
 AUTH_GSSAPI for which I don't have a test enviroment.  Could someone give
 it a spin?  It's the last bit needed before we can rework the
 lookup_hash API

 Add a generic mechanism for skipping over transport-specific headers
 when constructing an RPC request.  This removes another "xprt->stream"
 dependency.

 Test-plan:
 Write-intensive workload on a single mount point (try both UDP and
 TCP).

 Clean-up: get rid of unnecessary socket.h and in.h includes in the generic
 parts of the RPC client.

 Test-plan:
 Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled.

 Currently we return -ENOMEM for every single failure to create a new auth.
 This is actually accurate for auth_null and auth_unix, but for auth_gss it's a
 bit confusing.

 Allow rpcauth_create (and the ->create methods) to return errors.  With this
 patch, the user may sometimes see an EINVAL instead.  Whee.

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!
