This is the generic part of the start of the compatibility syscall
layer.  I think I have made it generic enough that each architecture can
define what compatibility means.

To use this, an architecture must create asm/compat.h and provide
typedefs for (currently) 'compat_time_t', 'struct compat_timeval' and
'struct compat_timespec'.

This fixes a lock and potential oops when accessing /proc/net/tr_rif is
the token ring interface is under heavy load.

around in active state for as long as possible. This allows us to
coalesce several transactions into one buffer and reduce the disk
traffic.

remove the callback processing from the log write path, we only
do callbacks on I/O completion now.

data structures (sb,agf,agi,agfl) are now sector size aware.  Cleaned up
the early mount code dealing with log devices and logsectsize.

Make old 32-bit getdents() look more like the updated
getdents64 for maintainability.

2.5 is 20% slower than 2.4 in an AIM9 test which is just running
readdir across /bin.  A lot of this is due to lots of tiny calls to
copy_to_user() in fs/readdir.c.  The patch speeds up that test by 50%,
so it's comfortably faster than 2.4.

Also, there were lots of unchecked copy_to_user() and put_user() calls
in there.  Fixed all that up as well.

The patch assumes that each arch has a working 64-bit put_user(), which
appears to be the case.
