This removes the XFS specific write path by modifying the
generic path to be usable by XFS. Also a couple of O_DIRECT
related fixes, and a locking change in pagebuf which should
protect the cases where the block device and the filesystem
path are being accessed in parallel.

Modid:  2.4.x-xfs:slinx:122679a
linux/mm/filemap.c - 1.113
        - break generic_file_write apart for use by xfs. Fix direct read end of
          file handling.

linux/include/linux/fs.h - 1.152
        - prototype for do_generic_file_write

linux/fs/xfs/xfs_dmapi.c - 1.64
        - Get max direct I/O size from a different place

linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_lrw.c - 1.152
        - replace call to pagebuf_generic_file_write with do_generic_file_write.

linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_file.c - 1.69
        - since we now call the generic write path in xfs remove the checks
          here which duplicate its functionality. Grab the i_sem lock in the
          non O_DIRECT case, we need it in the vmtruncate call out of
          do_generic_file_write.

linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_iops.c - 1.157
        - Add a truncate operation, change setattr to use vmtruncate and
          not call inode_setattr

linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_ioctl.c - 1.65
        - Get max direct I/O size from a different place

linux/fs/xfs/pagebuf/page_buf_io.c - 1.48
        - remove write path

linux/fs/xfs/pagebuf/page_buf.c - 1.35
        - leave pages locked when reading it in.

linux/fs/xfs/pagebuf/page_buf.h - 1.23
        - remove prototypes

linux/fs/xfs/pagebuf/page_buf_internal.h - 1.10
        - remove direct I/O config option
