Implements a new set of block address_space_operations which will never
attach buffer_heads to file pagecache.  These can be turned on for ext2
with the `nobh' mount option.

During write-intensive testing on a 7G machine, total buffer_head
storage remained below 0.3 megabytes.  And those buffer_heads are
against ZONE_NORMAL pagecache and will be reclaimed by ZONE_NORMAL
memory pressure.

This work is, of course, a special for the huge highmem machines.
Possibly it obsoletes the buffer_heads_over_limit stuff (which doesn't
work terribly well), but that code is simple, and will provide relief
for other filesystems.


It should be noted that the nobh_prepare_write() function and the
PageMappedToDisk() infrastructure is what is needed to solve the
problem of user data corruption when the filesystem which backs a
sparse MAP_SHARED mapping runs out of space.  We can use this code in
filemap_nopage() to ensure that all mapped pages have space allocated
on-disk.  Deliver SIGBUS on ENOSPC.

This will require a new address_space op, I expect.

This patch is a general solution to the situation where a zone is full
of pinned pages.

This can come about if:

a) Someone has allocated all of ZONE_DMA for IO buffers

b) Some application is mlocking some memory and a zone ends up full
   of mlocked pages (can happen on a 1G ia32 system)

c) All of ZONE_HIGHMEM is pinned in hugetlb pages (can happen on 1G
   machines)

We'll currently burn 10% of CPU in kswapd when this happens, although
it is quite hard to trigger.

The algorithm is:

- If page reclaim has scanned 2 * the total number of pages in the
  zone and there have been no pages freed in that zone then mark the
  zone as "all unreclaimable".

- When a zone is "all unreclaimable" page reclaim almost ignores it.
  We will perform a "light" scan at DEF_PRIORITY (typically 1/4096'th of
  the zone, or 64 pages) and then forget about the zone.

- When a batch of pages are freed into the zone, clear its "all
  unreclaimable" state and start full scanning again.  The assumption
  being that some state change has come about which will make reclaim
  successful again.

  So if a "light scan" actually frees some pages, the zone will revert to
  normal state immediately.

So we're effectively putting the zone into "low power" mode, and lightly
polling it to see if something has changed.

The code works OK, but is quite hard to test - I mainly tested it by
pinning all highmem in hugetlb pages.
