[PATCH] kNFSd: Use new cache infrastructure for auth_unix specific lookups.
This patch introduces two caches using the new infrastucture, and the concept of a 'domain'. A 'domain' refers to a collection of clients that all have the same view of the nfs server, and all have the same access rights (modulo different users on the clients). For AUTH_UNIX (and AUTH_NULL), the domain is determined from the IP address. For other authentication styles, the domain might be determined directly from the credentials. Each auth flavour knows how to allocate and free it's domain-specific infomation. auth_domain_cache maps a name to a domain which is owned by an auth flavour. ip_map_cache is a cache specific to AUTH_UNIX which maps IP address to domain. With this patch, svcauth_unix.c is created to store all auth_unix related code. The IP address lookup code is removed from nfsd/exports.c sunrpc module initilisation is moved out of stats.c into sunrpc_syms which seemed to be the most central .c file. It now registers these two caches. Now that the caches are being used, nfsd needs to call cache_clean periodically.
