of /proc/devices from spilling over the provided page if more than 4096

This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64.  It does the following things:

 - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
   exist with the same name as a child node of the parent.  We now
   simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
   /proc with random result...

 - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
   address is 0.  This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
   buggy and didn't always work anyway.

 - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
   node.  These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
   the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
   dentry and inode cache bloat.

This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

VmallocTotal: 34359738367 kB

is unsettling - x86_64 and some other architectures keep a separate address
range for modules in vmalloc's vmlist, which /proc/meminfo should pass over.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again.  The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels.  I
have tried to proceed with that task.  I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again.  Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets.  I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
 So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.

I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention.  Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors.  Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.

You can see result of the modified documentation build at
  http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz

Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation.  Sources has been added into kernel-api for now.  Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

The current logic assumes that a /proc/<PID>/task directory should have a
hardlink count of 3, probably counting ".", "..", and a directory for a
single child task.

It's fairly obvious that this doesn't work out correctly when a PID has
more than one child task, which is quite often the case.

The pid directories in /proc/ currently return the wrong hardlink count - 3,
when there are actually 4 : ".", "..", "fd", and "task".

This is easy to notice using find(1):
	cd /proc/<pid>
	find

In the output, you'll see a message similar to:

find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for .: this may be a bug in your
filesystem driver.  Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option.
Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have
been searched.

I also noticed that CONFIG_SECURITY can add a 5th: attr, and performed a
similar fix on the task directories too.

Attached is a new patch that solves the issue of getting valid credentials 
into the LOGIN message. The current code was assuming that the audit context 
had already been copied. This is not always the case for LOGIN messages.

To solve the problem, the patch passes the task struct to the function that 
emits the message where it can get valid credentials.

Working on some code lately I've been getting huge values for "Cached".
The cause is that get_page_cache_size() is an approximate value, and for a
sufficiently small returned value of get_page_cache_size() the value
underflows.

iscsi/lvm2/multipath needs guaranteed protection from the oom-killer, so
make the magical value of -17 in /proc/<pid>/oom_adj defeat the oom-killer
altogether.

(akpm: we still need to document oom_adj and friends in
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt!)

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!
