This simple patch makes the linux fat filesystem driver use the
next_cluster field in the fat_boot_fsinfo structure.  This field is a hint
where to start looking for free clusters.

Using this field makes a big difference for disks connected over slow links
such as USB 1.1.  Finding the first free cluster on a 40gig fat-formatted
usb disk can today take several minutes.  This patch cuts it down to a
fraction of a second.

Also, commit the next_cluster search hint toand from the superblock in
write_super/fill_super.

It looks like I guessed wrong on this one.

Whee! devfs_register isn't used anymore in the whole tree and with
it some other devfs crap.  Kill it for good.

The patch below updates the other platforms with module_arch_cleanup().
Also, I added more debug output to kernel/module.c since I found it useful
to be able to see the final section layout.

- Fix the sig_notify filtering code for the timer_create system call to
  properly check for the signal number being small enought, but only if
  SIG_NONE is not specified.

- Eliminate useless test of sig_notify.

Looks like the recent access_ok fixes broke building of i386.
__verify_write is still referenced in a couple places.

Some of the fancier slab debugging options are disabled for caches whose
objects are larger than PAGE_SIZE/8, for speed/fragmentation reasons.

But this patch turns up bugs in the size-2048 slab, so it was a bad idea.
Enable the debugging for slabs up to 4096 bytes.

C preprocessor expressions work, guys!)

Here are three more fixes which I missed in the previous patch.

Don't depend on undefined preprocessor symbols evaluating to zero.

- Export ip_generic_getfrag
- In udp6 increment v6 udp statistics not v4 one

There is a _lot_ of stuff in linux/elf.h that shouldn't be there.

This moves the arch-specific stuff in linux/elf.h into the corresponding
asm header files.

handling.

This pointed out a bug in x86 sys_rt_sigreturn(), btw.

* packet type converted from linked list to list_macro
* writer lock replaced with spin lock, readers use RCU
* add __dev_remove_pack for callers that cant sleep.
* af_packet changes to handle and sleeping requirements, and possible
  races that could cause.
