Since the epoll code is very careful to not nest same instance locks
allow the recursion.

clean up the sleep_on() APIs:
- do not use fastcall
- replace fragile macro magic with proper inline functions

Another case of non-static lockdep keys; duplicate the paradigm set by
DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK and introduce DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_ONSTACK.

In the upcoming aio_down patch, it is useful to store a private data
pointer in the kiocb's wait_queue. Since we provide our own wake up
function and do not require the task_struct pointer, it makes sense to
convert the task pointer into a generic private pointer.

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!
