a preēmpt counter overflow at 256p and above. Change the exclusion
mechanism to use atomic bit operations and busy wait loops to emulate the
spin lock exclusion mechanism but without the preempt count issues.

threads, the incore superblock lock becomes the limiting factor for
buffered write throughput. Make the contended fields in the incore
superblock use per-cpu counters so that there is no global lock to limit
scalability.

This patch switches XFS over to use the new mutex code directly as
opposed to the previous workaround patch I posted earlier that avoided
the namespace clash by forcing it back to semaphores. This falls in the
'works for me<tm>' category.

the data/attr forks now grow up/down from either end of the literal area,
rather than dividing the literal area into two chunks and growing both
upward. Means we can now make much more efficient use of the attribute
space, incl. fitting DMF attributes inline in 256 byte inodes, and large
jumps in dbench3 performance numbers. It is self enabling, but can be
forced on/off via the attr2/noattr2 mount options.

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!
