Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Fix a bug that only appears when AoE goes over a network card that does not
support scatter-gather. The headers in the linear part of the skb appeared
to be larger than they really were, resulting in data that was offset by 24
bytes.
This patch eliminates the offset data on cards that don't support
scatter-gather or have had scatter-gather turned off. There remains an
unrelated issue that I'll address in a separate email.
Fixes bugzilla #7662

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.
The patch was generated using the following script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
#
set -e
for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
quilt add $file
sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
mv /tmp/$$ $file
quilt refresh
done
The script was run like this
sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

Moved the attributes into a group, making the compiler be quiet about
ignoring the return value of the file create calls. This also also
fixed a bug when removing the files, which were not symlinks.

This patch addresses the concern that the aoe driver should

The aoe_deadsecs module parameter sets the number of seconds that
elapse before a nonresponsive AoE device is marked as dead.
This is runtime settable in sysfs or settable with a module load or

Avoid memory copy on writes.
(This patch depends on fixes in patch 9 to follow.)
Although skb->len should not be set when working with linear skbuffs,
the skb->tail pointer maintained by skb_put/skb_trim is not relevant
to what happens when the skb_fill_page_desc function is called. This
issue was raised without comment in linux-kernel and netdev earlier
this month:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/446474/http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/45444/
So until there is something analogous to skb_put that works for
zero-copy write skbuffs, we will do what the other callers of
skb_fill_page_desc are doing.

The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised. So we can
replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but
is more general.
Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear
or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that.
Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's
useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's
either non-linear or cloned.
Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it
anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.
