Instead of exporting the set of functions provided by
glibc that are needed for hostfs_user.c, just build that
into the kernel image whenever hostfs is built, and then
export _those_ functions cleanly, to be independent of
the libc implementation.

'obj-$(CONFIG_SYSCTL) += sysctls.o' must be moved after "obj-y :=",
or it won't be built as it is overwrited.

Note that there is nothing that is going to break by linking
sysctl.o later, we were just being way to cautious and patches
have been updated to reflect these considerations and sent for
stable as well with the whole "base" stuff needing to be linked
prior to child sysctl tables that use that directory. All of
the kernel sysctl APIs always share the same directory, and races
against using it should end up re-using the same single created
directory.

And so something we can do eventually is do away with all the base stuff.
For now it's fine, it's not creating an issue. It is just a bit pedantic
and careful.

Add a new LEGACY_DIRECT_IO config symbol that is only selected by the
file systems that still use the legacy blockdev_direct_IO code, so that
kernels without support for those file systems don't need to build the
code.

Now that we converted everything to just rely on struct mnt_idmap move it all
into a separate file. This ensure that no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap without any dedicated helpers and makes it easier to extend it in the
future. Filesystems will now not be able to conflate mount and filesystem
idmappings as they are two distinct types and require distinct helpers that
cannot be used interchangeably. We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap
as we see fit.

In commit 19e8b701e258 ("a.out: Stop building a.out/osf1 support on
alpha and m68k") the last users of a.out were disabled.

As nothing has turned up to cause this change to be reverted, let's
remove the code implementing a.out support as well.

There may be userspace users of the uapi bits left so the uapi
headers have been left untouched.

In preparation for splitting io_uring up a bit, move it into its own
top level directory. It didn't really belong in fs/ anyway, as it's
not a file system only API.

This adds io_uring/ and moves the core files in there, and updates the
MAINTAINERS file for the new location.
