Implement a count of the number of timeouts that have occured since
we last recorded a successful reply from the server.

For the moment this information is merely used in order to improve the
estimate of whether or not the server is down. It will be used in
patch 3/8 in order to improve the timeout backoff algorithm.

Implement the basic round trip timing algorithm in order to adapt the
timeout values for the most common NFS operations to the server's
rate of response.
Algorithm is described in Van Jacobson's paper 1998 paper
on http://www-nrg.ee.lbl.gov/nrg-papers.html, and is the same as is
used for most TCP stacks.

Following the *BSD code, we implement separate rtt timers for GETATTR,
LOOKUP, READ/READDIR/READLINK, and WRITE. In addition to this, there
is one extra timer for the COMMIT operation.
All the remaining RPC calls use the current system in which a fixed
timeout value gets set by the 'timeo' mount option.

In case of a timeout, the current exponential backoff algoritm is
implemented. Subsequent patches will improve this...

The following patch fixes a bug in xdr_kunmap() that has been known to
deadlock TCP mounts on highmem systems.  It also removes an unnecessary
call to flush_page_to_ram().

This patch  includes the innocuous bits from a larger one that
I'm still working on (mostly unlink fixes):

- updates comments
- flags TDs that were seen in the donelist
- removes some bogus whitespace (at EOL etc) and tabs
- checks for an enumeration issue that might cause trouble
- delays IRQs a bit more aggressively
- shortens TD submit paths a smidgeon (smaller ".o")
- updates some of the debug output
- sanitizes usb_make_path() output on the SA-1111

Get rid of #ifdefs in hid-core again. (For you, Greg.)
Move the uref generation code from hid-core to hiddev to make things cleaner.

The purpose of this patch is to trap all commands which have a bogus
request_bufflen.  Much logic is devoted to calculating the proper length of
the transfer, but according to discussions I've had on linux-scsi, this is
really a bug in whatever is originating the bad command.

Hopefully, after people use this patch for a while, we'll eliminate all the
offending sources and can remove quite a bit of logic from the driver.

One of my earlier patches backed out a change that fixed all
copy_to_user calls to properly return -EFAULT if needed. This puts the
change back in.

I've merged a patch Paul Stewart sent me some time ago, which should make life
easier for the guys writing UPS daemons.

- Limit volume size at mount time to 2TiB on architectures where
  unsigned long is 32-bits (fs/ntfs/super.c::parse_ntfs_boot_sector()).
  This is the most we can do without overflowing the 32-bit limit of
  the block device size imposed on us by sb_bread() and sb_getblk()
  for the time being.
- Limit file/directory size at open() time to 16TiB on architectures
  where unsigned long is 32-bits (fs/ntfs/file.c::ntfs_file_open() and
  fs/ntfs/dir.c::ntfs_dir_open()). This is the most we can do without
  overflowing the page cache page index.

  Doesn't check request_region and doesn't release region on failed
  kmalloc.

 this one slipped through the last fix for the redeclarations i sent,
 please apply this on to of the other one.

 Some instances of the "bool" statement have what appear to be
 dependencies like "dep_bool" after the 2nd argument, which are
 silently ignored by all current parsers.  I have either trimmed
 the arguments or converted the "bool" to "dep_bool" as seemed
 appropriate.

 This patch just makes some stuff in ipc/ static.

 This is needed for things running on the host which want to know when UML
 panics, and what the panic message was.

 Five symbols CONFIG_ACER_PICA_61, CONFIG_MIPS_EV96100, CONFIG_MIPS_EV64120,
