implement export_operations and set in superblock.
It is now posible to export exofs via nfsSigned-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

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 allocatedSigned-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

implementation of directory and inode operations.
* A directory is treated as a file, and essentially contains a list
of 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.).Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

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 biosSigned-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

Generic implementation of symlink ops.

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.Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

This patch includes osd infrastructure that will be used later by
the file system.Also the declarations of constants, on disk structures,
and prototypes.And the Kbuild+Kconfig files needed to build the exofs module.
