Pull kmap_atomic cleanup from Cong Wang.
It's been in -next for a long time, and it gets rid of the (no longer
used) second argument to k[un]map_atomic().
Fix up a few trivial conflicts in various drivers, and do an "evil
merge" to catch some new uses that have come in since Cong's tree.

Ramster can't be a module (yet) and depends on CONFIGFS_FS=y, but
allmodconfig builds with CONFIGFS_FS=m, which breaks the build.
And forcing CONFIGFS_FS=y with select breaks the build in other ways.
So just don't build ramster unless CONFIGFS_FS=y.
Also, while we're here, add a comment as to why BROKEN is depended.

Due to some conflicting debug vars, kernel build will warn when
CONFIG_RAMSTER=y and CONFIG_OCFS2=m and will fail when
CONFIG_RAMSTER=y and CONFIG_OCFS2=y (rare).
Rename ramster mlog vars to avoid the name conflict.

It can't seem to build properly, so let's just mark it broken until
stuff sorts itself out.

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
This patch adds new files necessary for ramster support: The file
ramster.h declares externs and some pampd bitfield manipulation. The
file zcache.h declares some zcache functions that now must be accessed
from the ramster glue code. The file r2net.c is the glue between zcache
and the messaging layer, providing routines called from zcache that
initiate messages, and routines that handle messages by calling zcache.
TODO explains future plans for merging.

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
This patch incorporates changes transforming zcache to work with
a remote store.
In tmem.[ch], new "repatriate" (provoke async get) and "localify" (handle
incoming data resulting from an async get) routines combine with a handful
of changes to existing pamops interfaces allow the generic tmem code
to support asynchronous operations. Also, a new tmem_xhandle struct
groups together key information that must be passed to remote tmem stores.
Zcache-main.c is augmented with a large amount of ramster-specific code
to handle remote operations and "foreign" pages on both ends of the
"remotify" protocol. New "foreign" pools are auto-created on demand.
A "selfshrinker" thread periodically repatriates remote persistent pages
when local memory conditions allow. For certain operations, a queue is
necessary to guarantee strict ordering as out-of-order puts/flushes can
cause strange race conditions. Pampd pointers now either point to local
memory OR describe a remote page; to allow the same 64-bits to describe
either, the LSB is used to differentiate. Some acrobatics must be performed
to ensure local memory is available to handle a remote persistent get,
or deal with the data directly anyway if the malloc failed. Lots
of ramster-specific statistics are available via sysfs.
Note: Some debug ifdefs left in for now.

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
Zcache is in the process of converting allocators, from xvmalloc to zsmalloc.
Further, RAMster V5 testing to date has been done only with xvmalloc.
To avoid merging problems, a linux-3.2 copy of xvmalloc is incorporated by
this patch. Later patches will be able to eliminate xvmalloc and use zsmalloc.

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
This patch copies files from drivers/staging/zcache. RAMster compresses
pages locally before transmitting them to another node, so we can
leverage the zcache and tmem code directly. Note: there are
no ramster-specific changes yet to these files.
(Why copy? The ramster tmem.c/tmem.h changes are definitely shareable
between zcache and ramster; the eventual destination for tmem.c
is the linux lib directory. Ramster changes to zcache are more substantial
and zcache is currently undergoing some significant unrelated changes
(including a new allocator and breaking zcache-main.c into smaller files),
so it seemed best to branch temporarily and merge later.)

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
This patch provides the cluster and messaging foundation for RAMster,
implementing the basic cluster discovery, mapping, heartbeat / keepalive,
and messaging ("r2net") that RAMster requires for internode communication.
This code heavily leverages code from the ocfs2 cluster layer but
has been extended, interfaces to userland changed, and external functions
renamed so that RAMster and ocfs2 can co-exist in the kernel and userland.
