This patch modifies the users of sysfs_mount to use sysfs_root
instead (which is what they are looking for). It then
makes sysfs_mount static to keep people from using it
by accident.
The net result is slightly faster and cleaner code.

Since sysfs no longer stores fs directory information in the dcache
on a permanent basis kill_litter_super it is inappropriate and actively
wrong. It will decrement the count on all dentries left in the
dcache before trying to free them.
At the moment this is not biting us only because we never unmount sysfs.

sysfs: Remove first pass at shadow directory support
While shadow directories appear to be a good idea, the current scheme

directories dynamically coming and going. Which can now occur for
directories containing network devices when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is
not set.
This patch removes everything from the initial shadow directory support
that allowed the shadow directory creation to be controlled at a higher

Due to historical reasons, struct kobject contained a static array for
the name, and a dynamic pointer in case the name got bigger than the

[TCP]: Fix lost_retrans loop vs fastpath problems
Detection implemented with lost_retrans must work also when
fastpath is taken, yet most of the queue is skipped including
(very likely) those retransmitted skb's we're interested in.
This problem appeared when the hints got added, which removed
a need to always walk over the whole write queue head.
Therefore decicion for the lost_retrans worker loop entry must
be separated from the sacktag processing more than it was
necessary before.
It turns out to be problematic to optimize the worker loop
very heavily because ack_seqs of skb may have a number of
discontinuity points. Maybe similar approach as currently is
implemented could be attempted but that's becoming more and
more complex because the trend is towards less skb walking
in sacktag marker. Trying a simple work until all rexmitted
skbs heve been processed approach.
Maybe after(highest_sack_end_seq, tp->high_seq) checking is not
sufficiently accurate and causes entry too often in no-work-to-do
cases. Since that's not known, I've separated solution to that
from this patch.
Noticed because of report against a related problem from TAKANO
Ryousei <takano@axe-inc.co.jp>. He also provided a patch to
that part of the problem. This patch includes solution to it
(though this patch has to use somewhat different placement).
TAKANO's description and patch is available here:

Both sacked_out and fackets_out are directly known from how
parameter. Since fackets_out is accurate, there's no need for
recounting (sacked_out was previously unnecessarily counted
in the loop anyway).

[TCP]: Fix mark_head_lost to ignore R-bit when trying to mark L
This condition (plain R) can arise at least in recovery that
is triggered after tcp_undo_loss. There isn't any reason why
they should not be marked as lost, not marking makes in_flight
estimator to return too large values.

[TCP]: Add bytes_acked (ABC) clearing to FRTO too
I was reading tcp_enter_loss while looking for Cedric's bug and
noticed bytes_acked adjustment is missing from FRTO side.
Since bytes_acked will only be used in tcp_cong_avoid, I think
it's safe to assume RTO would be spurious. During FRTO cwnd
will be not controlled by tcp_cong_avoid and if FRTO calls for
conventional recovery, cwnd is adjusted and the result of wrong
assumption is cleared from bytes_acked. If RTO was in fact
spurious, we did normal ABC already and can continue without
any additional adjustments.

[MIPS] R1: Fix hazard barriers to make kernels work on R2 also.
Tested with Malta; inflates malta_defconfig by 3932 bytes. Ideally there
should be additional configuration to allow getting rid of this overhead
but that would be too much complexity at this stage of the release cycle.

[MIPS] VPE: reimplement ELF loader.
Loading ELF binaries based on the section table is totally wrong. This
still leaves the other fat bug of referencing symbols in an executable
unfixed, so people better don't run strip on their binaries ...
As added bonus the new loader is also 23 lines shorter.
