8a9cd6d676 JFS: Fix race in txLock
TxAnchor.anon_list is protected by jfsTxnLock (TXN_LOCK), but there was
a place in txLock() that was removing an entry from the list without holding
the spinlock.

cbc3d65ebc JFS: Improve sync barrier processing
Under heavy load, hot metadata pages are often locked by non-committed
transactions, making them difficult to flush to disk.  This prevents
the sync point from advancing past a transaction that had modified the
page.

There is a point during the sync barrier processing where all
outstanding transactions have been committed to disk, but no new
transaction have been allowed to proceed.  This is the best time
to write the metadata.

1c6278295d [PATCH] JFS: Write journal sync points more often
This patch adds jfs_syncpt, which calls lmLogSync to write sync points
to the journal both in jfs_sync_fs and when sync barrier processing
completes.

lmLogSync accomplishes two things:  1) it pushes logged-but-dirty
metadata pages to disk, and 2) it writes a sync record to the journal
so that jfs_fsck doesn't need to replay more transactions than is
necessary.

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!
