[PATCH] cleanup of bh->flags
Moves all buffer_head-related stuff out of linux/fs.h and into linux/buffer_head.h. buffer_head.h is currently included at the very end of fs.h. So it is possible to include buffer_head directly from all .c files and remove this nested include. Also rationalises all the set_buffer_foo() and mark_buffer_bar() functions. We have: set_buffer_foo(bh) clear_buffer_foo(bh) buffer_foo(bh) and, in some cases, where needed: test_set_buffer_foo(bh) test_clear_buffer_foo(bh) And that's it. BUFFER_FNS() and TAS_BUFFER_FNS() macros generate all the above real inline functions. Normally not a big fan of cpp abuse, but in this case it fits. These function-generating macros are available to filesystems to expand their own b_state functions. JBD uses this in one case.
