sh: SuperH KEYSC platform driver
Add a platform driver for the SuperH KEYSC block. The driver expects to get
mode, timing information and keypad layout from the board code as platform
data. The board code is resonsible for pin configuration.
Both sh7343 and sh7722 should be supported, but only the sh7722 processor has
been tested so far. SH_KEYSC_MODE_3 is yet to be tested.

While investigating the extent corruption bug I ran into this bug in debug
only code. xfs_bmap_check_leaf_extents() loops through the leaf blocks of
the extent btree checking that every extent is entirely before the next

first extent in the current block when the previous block has been
released and potentially unmapped. So take a copy of the last extent
instead of a pointer. Also move the last extent check out of the loop
because we only need to do it once.
Most VN_RELE calls either directly contain a XFS_ITOV or have the
corresponding xfs_inode already in scope. Use the IRELE helper instead of

- remove useless vn_to_inode call
- check is_bad_inode before calling d_alloc_root
- use iput instead of VN_RELE in the error case

[XFS] Ensure a btree insert returns a valid cursor.
When writing into preallocated regions there is a case where XFS can oops
or hang doing the unwritten extent conversion on I/O completion. It turns
out that the problem is related to the btree cursor being invalid.
When we do an insert into the tree, we may need to split blocks in the
tree. When we only split at the leaf level (i.e. level 0), everything
works just fine. However, if we have a multi-level split in the btreee,
the cursor passed to the insert function is no longer valid once the
insert is complete.
The leaf level split is handled correctly because all the operations at
level 0 are done using the original cursor, hence it is updated correctly.
However, when we need to update the next level up the tree, we don't use
that cursor - we use a cloned cursor that points to the index in the next
level up where we need to do the insert.
Hence if we need to split a second level, the changes to the tree are
reflected in the cloned cursor and not the original cursor. This
clone-and-move-up-a-level-on-split behaviour recurses all the way to the
top of the tree.
The complexity here is that these cloned cursors do not point to the
original index that was inserted - they point to the newly allocated block
(the right block) and the original cursor pointer to that level may still
point to the left block. Hence, without deep examination of the cloned
cursor and buffers, we cannot update the original cursor with the new path
from the cloned cursor.
In these cases the original cursor could be pointing to the wrong block(s)
and hence a subsequent modification to the tree using that cursor will
lead to corruption of the tree.
The crash case occurs when the tree changes height - we insert a new level
in the tree, and the cursor does not have a buffer in it's path for that
level. Hence any attempt to walk back up the cursor to the root block will
result in a null pointer dereference.
To make matters even more complex, the BMAP BT is rooted in an inode, so
we can have a change of height in the btree *without a root split*. That
is, if the root block in the inode is full when we split a leaf node, we
cannot fit the pointer to the new block in the root, so we allocate a new
block, migrate all the ptrs out of the inode into the new block and point
the inode root block at the newly allocated block. This changes the height
of the tree without a root split having occurred and hence invalidates the
path in the original cursor.
The patch below prevents xfs_bmbt_insert() from returning with an invalid
cursor by detecting the cases that invalidate the original cursor and
refresh it by do a lookup into the btree for the original index we were
inserting at.
Note that the INOBT, AGFBNO and AGFCNT btree implementations also have
this bug, but the cursor is currently always destroyed or revalidated
after an insert for those trees. Hence this patch only address the problem
in the BMBT code.

[XFS] Account for inode cluster alignment in all allocations
At ENOSPC, we can get a filesystem shutdown due to a cancelling a dirty
transaction in xfs_mkdir or xfs_create. This is due to the initial
allocation attempt not taking into account inode alignment and hence we
can prepare the AGF freelist for allocation when it's not actually
possible to do an allocation. This results in inode allocation returning
ENOSPC with a dirty transaction, and hence we shut down the filesystem.
Because the first allocation is an exact allocation attempt, we must tell
the allocator that the alignment does not affect the allocation attempt.
i.e. we will accept any extent alignment as long as the extent starts at
the block we want. Unfortunately, this means that if the longest free
extent is less than the length + alignment necessary for fallback
allocation attempts but is long enough to attempt a non-aligned
allocation, we will modify the free list.
If we then have the exact allocation fail, all other allocation attempts
will also fail due to the alignment constraint being taken into account.
Hence the initial attempt needs to set the "alignment slop" field so that
alignment, while not required, must be taken into account when determining
if there is enough space left in the AG to do the allocation.
That means if the exact allocation fails, we will not dirty the freelist
if there is not enough space available fo a subsequent allocation to
succeed. Hence we get an ENOSPC error back to userspace without shutting
down the filesystem.
[XFS] Replace custom AIL linked-list code with struct list_head
Replace the xfs_ail_entry_t with a struct list_head and clean the
surrounding code up. Also fixes a livelock in xfs_trans_first_push_ail()
by terminating the loop at the head of the list correctly.
[XFS] Remove superflous xfs_readsb call in xfs_mountfs.
When xfs_mountfs is called by xfs_mount xfs_readsb was called 35 lines
above unconditionally, so there is no need to try to read the superblock
if it's not present. If any other port doesn't have the superblock read at
this point it should just call it directly from it's xfs_mount equivalent.

[XFS] kill t_sema member of struct xfs_trans
It's completely unused so we might aswell kill it. Note that there is
another t_sema in struct xlog_ticket, which is used and actually an sv_t
despite the name. That one is left untouched by this patch.
