It's often inconvenient to use BIO_MAX_PAGES due to min() requiring the
sign to be the same.  Introduce bio_max_segs() and change BIO_MAX_PAGES to
be unsigned to make it easier for the users.

<title>NFS/NFSD/SUNRPC: replace generic creds with 'struct cred'.</title>

<id>a52458b48af142bcc2b72fe810c0db20cfae7fdd</id>
<content type='text'>
SUNRPC has two sorts of credentials, both of which appear as
"struct rpc_cred".
There are "generic credentials" which are supplied by clients
such as NFS and passed in 'struct rpc_message' to indicate
which user should be used to authorize the request, and there
are low-level credentials such as AUTH_NULL, AUTH_UNIX, AUTH_GSS
which describe the credential to be sent over the wires.

This patch replaces all the generic credentials by 'struct cred'
pointers - the credential structure used throughout Linux.

For machine credentials, there is a special 'struct cred *' pointer
which is statically allocated and recognized where needed as
having a special meaning.  A look-up of a low-level cred will
map this to a machine credential.

<title>page cache: Convert hole search to XArray</title>

<id>0d3f92966629e536b0c5c2355c1ada8e21c245f6</id>
<content type='text'>
The page cache offers the ability to search for a miss in the previous or
next N locations.  Rather than teach the XArray about the page cache's
definition of a miss, use xas_prev() and xas_next() to search the page
array.  This should be more efficient as it does not have to start the
lookup from the top for each index.
