Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

The comment at the nesting lock says:

	/* Careful for priority inversions here !
	 * irlmp->links is never taken while another IrDA
	 * spinlock is held, so we are safe. Jean II */

So, under the assumption the author was right, it just needs a lockdep
annotation.

As pointed out by Christoph Hellwig, dev_alloc_skb() is not intended to be
used for allocating TX sk_buff. The IrDA stack was exclusively calling
dev_alloc_skb() on the TX path, and this patch fixes that.

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:

- make the following needlessly global function static:
  - irnet/irnet_ppp.c: irnet_init

- remove the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
  - irlmp.c: sysctl_discovery_timeout
  - irlmp.c: irlmp_reasons
  - irlmp.c: irlmp_dup
  - irqueue.c: hashbin_find_next

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!
