replace open_bdev_excl/close_bdev_excl with variants taking fmode_t.
superblock gets the value used to mount it stored in sb->s_mode

Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS.
This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS
keywords from the MTD code.
This also includes code that printed them to the user.

Address a number of small issues mainly regarding the output made by this
driver to dmesg:
- Some of the blkmtd's had not been changed to block2mtd which caused
display problem
- the parse_err() macro was displaying "block2mtd: " twice

The block2mtd driver (drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c) will kfree an on-stack
pointer when handling an invalid argument line (e.g.
block2mtd=/dev/loop0,xxx).
The kfree was added some time ago when "name" was dynamically allocated.

I have been prime author and maintainer of block2mtd from day one, but
neither MAINTAINERS nor the module source makes this fact clear. And while
I'm at it, update my email addresses tree-wide, as the old address
currently bounces and change my name to "joern" as unicode will likely
continue to cause trouble until the end of this century.

Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.
I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

Over the years there was a slow trickle of complaints against the readahead
code. Most of them concerned performance, Peter Zijlstra stumbled over it
when working unrelated changes and I believe there was an actual bug report.
Oh, Andrew Morton also complained about duplicating code from mm/readahead.c.
It is just not worth it. On flash media like usb sticks, readahead will
make things go slow - very slow. On spinning disks, readahead may be a
win, but this is definitely not the place to add it.

Trying to pass kernel command line arguments to block2mtd at boot-time does
not work currently. block2mtd_setup() is called so early that kmalloc()
fails nevermind being able to do open_bdev_excl() (which requires rootfs to
be mounted. This patch only saves the option string at the early boot stage,
and parses them later when block2mtd_init() is called. If open_bdev_excl()
fails, open_by_devnum(name_to_dev_t()) is tried instead, which makes it
possible to initialize the driver before rootfs has been mounted. Also gets
rid of the superfluous parse_name() that only checks if name is longer than
80 chars and copies it to a string that is not kfreed.
With this patch, I can boot statically compiled block2mtd, and mount jffs2
as rootfs (without modules or initrd), with lilo config like this:
root=/dev/mtdblock0
append="rootfstype=jffs2 block2mtd.block2mtd=/dev/hdc2,65536"
(Note that rootfstype=jffs2 is required, since the kernel only tries
filesystems without "nodev" attribute by default, and jffs is "nodev").
Compared to first version of this patch, this one does not copy the
parameters to the global buffer if init has already been called, and the
global array is marked as __initdata.
Compared to the second version of this patch, module build is fixed.
Compared to the third version of this patch, statically compiled block2mtd
driver with no boot-time parameter no longer gives spurious error 'cannot
open device ""'

Ram devices get the extra capability of MTD_NO_ERASE - not requiring
an explicit erase before writing to it. Currently only mtdblock uses
this capability. Rest of the patch is a simple text replacement.

There's a mem leak in drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c::block2mtd_setup()
We can leak 'name' allocated with kmalloc in 'parse_name' if leave via
the 'parse_err' macro since it contains a return but doesn't do any
freeing.

Expand the parameter parsing for block2mtd. It now accepts:
Ki, Mi, Gi - the official prefixes for binary multiples,
see http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html,
ki - mistake on my side and analog to "k" for decimal multiples,
KiB, MiB, GiB - for people that prefer to add a "B" for byte,
kiB - combination of the above.
There were complaints about not accepting "k" for 1024. This has long
been common practice, but is known to lead to confusion. Hence the new
SI units and hence block2mtd only accepts units that cannot be confused
with decimal units. Diverging from common practice doesn't always please
people, even if the change is for the better.

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!
