[PATCH 0/5] staging:lustre: split kernel comm between user and kernel

[James Simmons]

The kernel communication code used for HSM and changelog is
entangled. Move the user space bits into the liblustreapi. This will
also help for a possible relicensing. The kernel portion is also moved
from libcfs to obdclass.

The original libcfs_kernelcomm.h header is split into three parts:

  * lustre_kernelcomm.h, a new header for the kernel parts;
  * uapi_kernelcomm.h, a new header for the data structures shared
    between userspace and kernelspace;
  * lustreapi_internal.h receives the private liblustreapi prototypes.

The original code in kernel_user_comm.c is split into two parts:

  * obdclass/kernelcomm.c for the kernel part. filp_user_write() was
    moved there, and linux-fs.c deleted;
  * liblustreapi_kernelconn.c for the user part. The calls to CDEBUG
    have been removed, and calls to CERROR have been transformed to
    llapi_err_noerrno. The type lustre_kernelcomm has been removed and
    replace by struct lustre_kernelcomm.

Various names and filenames have been harmonized to *kernelcomm*.

The unused symbol KUC_FL_BLOCK has been removed.
