<content type='text'>
Since 2002 (change "Replace BKL for chain locking with sysvfs-private
rwlock") the sysv filesystem was doing IO under a rwlock in its
get_block() function (yes, a non-sleepable lock hold over a function
used to read inode metadata for all reads and writes).  Nobody noticed
until syzbot in 2023 [1]. This shows nobody is using the filesystem.
Just drop it.

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!
