If the server decides to close the RPC socket, we currently don't actually
 respond until either another RPC call is scheduled, or until xprt_autoclose()
 gets called by the socket expiry timer (which may be up to 5 minutes
 later).

 This patch ensures that xprt_autoclose() is called much sooner if the
 server closes the socket.

 Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management
 on a per-transport basis.

 In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are
 allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent.  Some transport
 implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding,
 sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however.  For
 transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved
 out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache.

 For privacy, we need to allocate pages to store the encrypted data (passed
 in pages can't be used without the risk of corrupting data in the page cache).
 So we need a way to free that memory after the request has been transmitted.

 Currently, call_encode will cause the entire RPC call to abort if it returns
 an error. This is unnecessarily rigid, and gets in the way of attempts
 to allow the NFSv4 layer to order RPC calls that carry sequence ids.

 Each transport implementation can now set unique bind, connect,
 reestablishment, and idle timeout values.  These are variables,
 allowing the values to be modified dynamically.  This permits
 exponential backoff of any of these values, for instance.

 As an example, we implement exponential backoff for the connection
 reestablishment timeout.

 The next method we abstract is the one that releases a transport,
 allowing another task to have access to the transport.

 Again, one generic version of this is provided for transports that
 don't need the RPC client to perform congestion control, and one
 version is for transports that can use the original Van Jacobson
 implementation in xprt.c.

 The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to
 choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether
 the transport itself provides it.

 The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the
 RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling
 together.  This method provides proper request serialization and the
 opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the
 transport is congested.

 The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control
 itself.  Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after
 years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control
 is much better than doing it in the RPC client.  Thus TCP, and probably
 every future transport implementation, will use the default method,
 xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind
 of congestion control.  UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided
 Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation.

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.
