Since we only access reiserfs_key ->u.k_offset_v2 guts in four helper
functions, we are free to sanitize those, as long as
- layout of the structure is unchanged (it's on-disk object)
- behaviour of these helpers is same as before.
Patch kills the mess with endianness-dependent bitfields and replaces them
with a single __le64. Helpers are switched to straightforward shift/and/or.
Benefits:
- exact same definitions for little- and big-endian architectures; no ifdefs
in sight.
- generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian.
- doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator.
- happens to be standard C (unsigned long long is not a valid type for a
bitfield; it's a gccism and not well-implemented one, at that).

comp_short_keys() massaged into sane form, which kills the last place where
pointer to in_core_key (or any object containing such) would be cast to or
from something else. At that point we are free to change layout of
in_core_key - nothing depends on it anymore.
So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64
k_offset and __u8 k_type instead; places using in_core_key switched to those.
That gives _far_ better code than current mess - on all platforms.

struct reiserfs_key cloned; (currently) identical struct in_core_key added.
Places that expect host-endian data in reiserfs_key switched to in_core_key.
Basically, we get annotation of reiserfs_key users and keep the resulting tree
obviously equivalent to original.

This patch adds a new function valid_signal() that tests if its argument is
a valid signal number.
The reasons for adding this new function are:
- some code currently testing _NSIG directly has off-by-one errors.
Using this function instead avoids such errors.
- some code currently tests unsigned signal numbers for <0 which is
pointless and generates warnings when building with gcc -W. Using this
function instead avoids such warnings.
I considered various places to add this function but eventually settled on
include/linux/signal.h as the most logical place for it. If there's some
reason this is a bad choice then please let me know (hints as to a better
location are then welcome of course).

There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two
functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding
access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for
access_ok - deprecate those.
There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out
code, fix those up to use access_ok.
After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally
removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release
or two.

The synchronize_kernel() primitive is used for quite a few different purposes:
waiting for RCU readers, waiting for NMIs, waiting for interrupts, and so on.
This makes RCU code harder to read, since synchronize_kernel() might or might
not have matching rcu_read_lock()s. This patch creates a new
synchronize_rcu() that is to be used for RCU readers and a new
synchronize_sched() that is used for the rest. These two new primitives
currently have the same implementation, but this is might well change with
additional real-time support. Both new primitives are GPL-only, the old
primitive is deprecated.

The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,
SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to
linux/signal.h. This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code
was consolidated. The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are
still left per-arch.
Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this
patch does:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you
add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too. So I think such
a clean-up makes sense.

Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt
priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by
Chris Wright.
The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities
a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by
default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of
100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is
blanket permission.
