swap: Add swap slot free callback to block_device_operations
This callback is required when RAM based devices are used as swap disks.
One such device is ramzswap which is used as compressed in-memory swap
disk. For such devices, we need a callback as soon as a swap slot is no
longer used to allow freeing memory allocated for this slot. Without this
callback, stale data can quickly accumulate in memory defeating the whole
purpose of such devices.

swap: Add flag to identify block swap devices
Added SWP_BLKDEV flag to distinguish block and regular file backed
swap devices. We could also check if a swap is entire block device,
rather than a file, by:
S_ISBLK(swap_info_struct->swap_file->f_mapping->host->i_mode)
but, I think, simply checking this flag is more convenient.
This patch removes the private memory allocator
and all conjugated functions. Now the driver uses
videobuf-dma-contig module for allocations.
Added reserving 4MB coherent memory for private
per device allocations at probe time.

Staging: ramzswap: Remove backing swap support
Currently, each ramzswap device can be assigned
a separate 'backing swap' file/partition. The ramzswap
driver forwards swap I/O requests to this backing swap
whenever an incompressible page is found.
This feature adds nearly 700 lines of code and it
also duplicates much of the swapon() functionality
(for example, finding swap extents and so on). Removing
this code makes the driver much simpler and should
help its transition from staging to stable drivers
area (drivers/block/).
Similar functionality may be implemented if we can
implement migrating pages across swap devices but the
details have not yet been worked out.
Support for _partitions_ as backing swap could be
retained as it requires a few lines of code only.
This part can be re-introduced later if above swap
migration method turns out to be infeasible.
More cleanups and code comments will be added soon.

Staging: batman-adv: Limit queue lengths for batman and broadcast packets
This patch limits the queue lengths of batman and broadcast packets. BATMAN
packets are held back for aggregation and jittered to avoid interferences.
Broadcast packets are stored to be sent out multiple times to increase
the probability to be received by other nodes in lossy environments.
Especially in extreme cases like broadcast storms, the queues have been seen
to run full, eating up all the memory and triggering the infamous OOM killer.
With the queue length limits introduced in this patch, this problem is
avoided.
Each queue is limited to 256 entries for now, resulting in 1 MB of maximum
space available in total for typical setups (assuming one packet including
overhead does not require more than 2000 byte). This should also be reasonable
for smaller routers, otherwise the defines can be tweaked later.
This third version of the patch does not increase the local broadcast
sequence number when the queue is already full.

Staging: batman-adv: Reorganize sequence number handling
BATMAN and broadcast packets are tracked with a sequence number window of
currently 64 entries to measure and avoid duplicates. Packets which have a
sequence number smaller than the newest received packet minus 64 are not
within this sequence number window anymore and are called "old packets"
from now on.
When old packets are received, the routing code assumes that the host of the
originator has been restarted. This assumption however might be wrong as
packets can also be delayed by NIC drivers, e.g. because of long queues or
collision detection in dense WiFi? environments. This behaviour can be
reproduced by doing a broadcast ping flood in a dense node environment.
The effect is that the sequence number window is jumping forth and back,
accepting and forwarding any packet (because packets are assumed to be "new")
and causing loops.
To overcome this problem, the sequence number handling has been reorganized.
When an old packet is received, the window is reset back only once. Other old
packets are dropped for (currently) 30 seconds to "protect" the new sequence
number and avoid the hopping as described above.
The reorganization brings some code cleanups (at least i hope you feel the
same) and also fixes a bug in count_real_packets() which falsely updated
the last_real_seqno for slightly older packets within the seqno window
if they are no duplicates.
This second version of the patch also fixes a problem where for seq_diff==64
bit_shift() reads from outside of the seqno window, and removes the loop
for seq_diff == -64 which was present in the first patch.
The third iteration also adds a window for the next expected sequence numbers.
This minimizes sequence number flapping for packets with very big differences
(e.g. 3 packets with seqno 0, 25000 and 50000 might still cause problems
without this window).
