ba9e5e98ca exofs: super_operations and file_system_type
This patch ties all operation vectors into a file system superblock
and registers the exofs file_system_type at module's load time.

* The file system control block (AKA on-disk superblock) resides in
  an object with a special ID (defined in common.h).
  Information included in the file system control block is used to
  fill the in-memory superblock structure at mount time. This object
  is created before the file system is used by mkexofs.c It contains
  information such as:
	- The file system's magic number
	- The next inode number to be allocated

e6af00f1d1 exofs: dir_inode and directory operations
implementation of directory and inode operations.

* A directory is treated as a file, and essentially contains a list
  of <file name, inode #> pairs for files that are found in that
  directory. The object IDs correspond to the files' inode numbers
  and are allocated using a 64bit incrementing global counter.
* Each file's control block (AKA on-disk inode) is stored in its
  object's attributes. This applies to both regular files and other
  types (directories, device files, symlinks, etc.).

beaec07ba6 exofs: address_space_operations
OK Now we start to read and write from osd-objects. We try to
collect at most contiguous pages as possible in a single write/read.
The first page index is the object's offset.

TODO:
   In 64-bit a single bio can carry at most 128 pages.
   Add support of chaining multiple bios

e806271916 exofs: file and file_inode operations
implementation of the file_operations and inode_operations for
regular data files.

Most file_operations are generic vfs implementations except:
- exofs_truncate will truncate the OSD object as well
- Generic file_fsync is not good for none_bd devices so open code it
- The default for .flush in Linux is todo nothing so call exofs_fsync
  on the file.
