Monotonic clock code uses reader/writer lock which is prone to same
starvation problems as we saw with xtime.  This patch changes it to seq_lock
which is faster and won't starve writers in face of lots of readers.

Introduce a new kernel-userspace interface that uses 128-bit file
identifiers instead of the previously used 96-bit fileids. We also
replacing the coda_creds structure with only the fsuid.

This new API has been used by for a couple of months now, people had to
patch their kernels whenever they want to run a current Coda release.
A new Kconfig option is added to fall back on the old API for older Coda
clients and other userspace filesystems that might use our protocol.

The ViceFid structure is really a Coda server datatype and the kernel
really shouldn't have to know its internal structure. Replace all
instances with struct CodaFid with opaque members.

Both userspace and the kernel are testing only the fsuid part of the 
coda_creds credentials structure. Nothing else is really used, so we now
match the code with the actual usage by only passing fsuid around. The
kernel-userspace API is kept compatible (for now).

Use a global 'epoch' counter to invalidate cached permissions instead of
traversing a racy linked list of all known Coda inodes.

  - Remove unused functions and variables.
  - Be a bit more strict with the definition of various types that are
    shared between kernel and userspace.
  - Included a couple of cleanups from Maximilian Attems and Stephen
    Hemminger.

A recent change causes pervasive data corruption by over-writing inode
metadata with a word of garbage.  The field, di_rdev, should only be set
for a device inode.

This will allow fixing races with rmmod and sysfs access.

Harald synced up ipt_REJECT.c from 2.4 route fixes, but it had
changed a fair bit because of the nonlinear fixes.  This repairs it.

1) Copying of tcp header onto stack.
2) ...which also checks length requirement.
3) Skip checksum check: requires linear packet.

Herve Eychenne noted that many ADSL connections get the same
address when the interface comes back up, so some users use SNAT
instead of masquerade.  The answer is that MASQUERADE should only
drop connections when the interface comes up, and then only if the
interface address has actually changed.

- introduction of the struct array 'atm_proc_ents':
  - removal of code duplication in atm_proc_cleanup();
  - removal of code duplication in atm_proc_init();
  - removal of the macros CREATE_SEQ_ENTRY() and CREATE_ENTRY();
  - /proc/net/atm/vcc returns to /proc/net/atm/vc;
- credits at the top of the file;
- replaced proc_dev_atm_operations by proc_atm_dev_ops;
- atm_proc_dev_register: removal of tasteless "fail0/fail1" labels.

seq_file support for /proc/net/atm/lec:
- lec_info(): seq_printf/seq_putc replaces sprintf;
- traversal of the lec structure needs to walk:
  -> the lec interfaces
     -> the tables of arp tables(lec_arp_tables);
        -> the arp tables themselves
     -> the misc tables (lec_arp_empty_ones/lec_no_forward/mcast_fwds)

  Sum up of the call tree:
  atm_lec_seq_start()/atm_lec_seq_next()
  -> atm_lec_get_idx()
     -> atm_lec_itf_walk() (responsible for dev_lec/dev_put handling)
        -> atm_lec_priv_walk() (responsible for lec_priv locking)
           -> atm_lec_arp_walk()
              -> atm_lec_tbl_walk()
           -> atm_lec_misc_walk()
              -> atm_lec_tbl_walk()

  Each of the dedicated functions follows the same convention: return NULL
  as long as the seq_file cursor hasn't been digested (i.e. until < 0).
  Locking is only done when an entry (i.e. a lec_arp_table) is referenced.
  atm_lec_seq_stop()/atm_lec_itf_walk()/atm_lec_priv_walk() are responsible
  for getting this point right.
- module refcounting is done in atm_lec_seq_open()/atm_lec_seq_release();
- atm_lec_info() is removed.

Chas's suggestions applied since last version:
- atm_seq_lec_fops renamed to lec_seq_fops;
- change in state handling: it wasn't correctly set to its reset value
  after a complete interface walk;
- lec_arp_get_status_string() bugfix.

seq_file support for /proc/net/atm/arp:
- svc_addr/atmarp_info(): seq_printf/seq_putc replace sprintf and friends;
- arp_getidx/arp_vcc_walk() take care of the usual seq_file cursor
  positionning: they both return NULL until the cursor has reached its
  position. struct atm_arp_state is updated accordingly;
- arp_seq_{stop/start} are responsible for clip_tbl_hook (un)locking;
- module refcounting is done in arp_seq_open()/arp_seq_release();
- atm_lec_info() is removed.

Chas's suggestions applied since last version:
- atm_arp_xxx renamed to arp_xxx;
- atm_seq_arp_fops renamed to arp_seq_fops.

Chas didn't ask for it but I renamed arp_vc_walk to arp_vcc_walk.

seq_file support for /proc/net/atm/vc:

Same comments as for pvc and svc.

Extra Chas's suggestion applied since last version:
- atm_vc_xxx renamed to vcc_xxx.

seq_file support for /proc/net/atm/svc:

Exactly same comments as pvc. Just s/p/s/

seq_file support for /proc/net/atm/pvc:
- pvc_info(): seq_printf/seq_putc replaces sprintf;
- atm_pvc_info() removal;
- the vc helpers (vcc__seq_xxx) do the remaining work.

Chas's suggestions applied since last version:
- atm_pvc_xxx renamed to pvc_xxx
- atm_seq_pvc_fops renamed to pvc_seq_fops

Helpers for seq_file conversion of proc/atm/{pvc/svc/vc}:
- struct vcc_state keeps
  1) the struct sock from which the current struct atm_vcc is deduced
  2) the family to which must belong the vcc (PF_ATM{SVC/PVC/any})
  3) the availability of clip module
- vcc_seq{start/stop} are responsible for vcc_sklist locking
- __vcc_seq_open and vcc_seq_release take care of get/put for the clip module.

Chas's suggestions applied since last version:
- atm_vc_xxx renamed to vcc_xxx
- atm_vc_common_seq_open renamed  __vcc_seq_open (future name clashes
  avoidance)

seq_file conversion for proc/atm/devices:
- code inspired from seq_file use in net/core/dev.c;
- atm_dev_lock taken/released in atm_dev_seq_{start/stop};
- add a helper CREATE_SEQ_ENTRY() similar to CREATE_ENTRY() (both are removed
  once conversion is done).
- atm_dev_seq_{start/stop/next} done in net/atm/resource.[ch] to ease
  future handling of atm_devs and locking structure (per Chas suggestion)
