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.

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.

If a page is "freed" while in the deferred-lru-addition queue, the
final reference to it is the deferred lru addition queue.  When that
queue gets spilled onto the LRU, the page is actually freed.

Which is all expected and natural and works fine - it's a weird case.

But one of the AIM9 tests was taking a 20% performance hit (relative to
2.4) because it was going into the page allocator for new pages while
cache-hot pages were languishiung out in the deferred-addition queue.

So the patch changes things so that we spill the CPU's
deferred-lru-addition queue before starting to free pages.  This way,
the recently-used pages actually make it to the hot/cold lists and are
available for new allocations.

It gets back 15 of the lost 20%.  The other 5% is lost to the general
additional complexity of all this stuff.  (But we're 250% faster than
2.4 when running four instances of the test on 4-way).

This patch optimises the truncate of a zero-length file, which is a
sufficiently common case to justify the extra test-n-branch.

It does this by skipping the entire call into the fs if i_size is not
being altered.

The AIM9 `open_clo' test just loops, creating and unlinking a file.
This patch speeds it up 50% for ext2, 600% for reiserfs.

The buffer-stripping code gets upset when it sees a non-uptodate buffer
against an uptodate page.  This happens because the write end_io
handler clears BH_Uptodate.

Add a buffer_req() test to suppress these warnings.
