- Move the slow path fallbacks to their own assembly files
This makes them much easier to read and is needed for the next change.
- Add CFI annotations for unwinding (XXX need review)
- Remove constant case which can never happen with out of line spinlocks
- Use patchable LOCK prefixes
- Don't use lock sections anymore for inline code because they can't
be expressed by the unwinder (this adds one taken jump to the lock
fast path)

This assembly version is measurably faster than the generic version in
lib/iomap_copy.c.

Several implementations were essentialy a common piece of C code using
the cmpxchg() macro. Put the implementation in one spot that everyone
can share, and convert sparc64 over to using this.
Alpha is the lone arch-specific implementation, which codes up a
special fast path for the common case in order to avoid GP reloading
which a pure C version would require.

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!
