<content type='text'>
Documentation changes to help radix tree users avoid overrunning the tags
array.  RADIX_TREE_TAGS moves to linux/radix-tree.h and is now known as
RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS (Nick Piggin's idea).  Tag parameters are changed to
unsigned, and some comments are updated.

Use atomic_inc_not_zero for rcu files instead of special case rcuref.

<title>[PATCH] reiser4: add radix_tree_lookup_slot()</title>

Reiser4 uses radix trees to solve a trouble reiser4_readdir has serving nfs
requests.

Unfortunately, radix tree api lacks an operation suitable for modifying
existing entry.  This patch adds radix_tree_lookup_slot which returns pointer
to found item within the tree.  That location can be then updated.

Both Nick and Christoph Lameter have patches which need this as well.

 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

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!
