For filesystem that implement directories in pagecache we call
block_write_begin with an already allocated page for this code, while the
normal regular file write path uses the default block_write_begin behaviour.
Get rid of the __foofs_write_begin helper and opencode the normal write_begin
call in foofs_write_begin, while adding a new foofs_prepare_chunk helper for
the directory code. The added benefit is that foofs_prepare_chunk has
a much saner calling convention.
Note that the interruptible flag passed into block_write_begin is always
ignored if we already pass in a page (see next patch for details), and
we never were doing truncations of exessive blocks for this case either so we
can switch directly to block_write_begin_newtrunc.

I happened to find that fs/minix/minix.h doesn't guard double include.
Yes, I know this never cause something destructive because this is
self-evidence that no source file includes minix.h twice, but I think
fixing this is better than disregarding it.

This patch removes the !NO_TRUNCATE code that anyway required a manual
editing of the code for being used.

Stop the MINIX filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
minix_read_inode() with minix_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
minix_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.
minix_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

Many struct inode_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.

This morning I needed to read a Minix V3 filesystem, but unfortunately my
2.6.19 did not support that, and neither did the downloaded 2.6.20rc4.
Fortunately, google told me that Daniel Aragones had already done the work,
patch found at http://www.terra.es/personal2/danarag/
Unfortunaly, looking at the patch was painful to my eyes, so I polished it
a bit before applying. The resulting kernel boots, and reads the
filesystem it needed to read.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups
The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

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!
