21eeb7aa11 [JFFS2] Fix the slab cache constructor of 'struct jffs2_inode_info' objects.
JFFS2 initialize f->sem mutex as "locked" in the slab constructor which is a
bug. Objects are freed with unlocked f->sem mutex. So, when they allocated
again, f->sem is unlocked because the slab cache constructor is not called for
them. The constructor is called only once when memory pages are allocated for
objects (namely, when the slab layer allocates new slabs). So, sometimes
'struct jffs2_inode_info' are allocated with unlocked f->sem, sometimes with
locked. This is a bug. Instead, initialize f->sem as unlocked in the
constructor. I.e., in the "constructed" state f->sem must be unlocked.

e631ddba58 [JFFS2] Add erase block summary support (mount time improvement)
The goal of summary is to speed up the mount time. Erase block summary (EBS)
stores summary information at the end of every (closed) erase block. It is
no longer necessary to scan all nodes separetly (and read all pages of them)
just read this "small" summary, where every information is stored which is
needed at mount time.

This summary information is stored in a JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_DELETE. During
the mount process if there is no summary info the orignal scan process will
be executed. EBS works with NAND and NOR flashes, too.

There is a user space tool called sumtool to generate this summary
information for a JFFS2 image.

b62205986a [JFFS2] Init locks early during mount
In case of a mount error locks might be uninitialized but
accessed by the resulting call to jffs2_kill_sb().

2f82ce1eb6 [JFFS2] Use a single config option for write buffer support
This patch replaces the current CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_NOR_ECC
and CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DATAFLASH with a single configuration option -
CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER.

The only functional change of this patch is that the slower div/mod
calculations for SECTOR_ADDR(), PAGE_DIV() and PAGE_MOD() are now always
used when CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER is enabled.

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!
