We need not use ->f_pos as the offset for the file input/output. If the
user passed an offset pointer in through sys_splice(), just use that and
leave ->f_pos alone.

separate out the 'internal pipe object' abstraction, and make it
usable to splice. This cleans up and fixes several aspects of the
internal splice APIs and the pipe code:
- pipes: the allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info is now more symmetric
and more streamlined with existing kernel practices.
- splice: small micro-optimization: less pointer dereferencing in splice
methods

Update XFS for the ->splice_read/->splice_write changes.

direct I/O locking changes it is just a wrapper around
VOP_FLUSHINVAL_PAGES, so it's not nessecary anymore. Keep a simplified
version for kernels < 2.4.22, as these don't have the changed direct I/O
locking.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
