kvm uses a pseudo filesystem, kvmfs, to generate inodes, a job that the
new anonymous inodes source does much better.Cc: Davide Libenzi

This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need
and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an
inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in
the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*).
This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd
(and whatever else there'll be).Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi

This morning I needed to read a Minix V3 filesystem, but unfortunately my
2.6.19 did not support that, and neither did the downloaded 2.6.20rc4.Fortunately, google told me that Daniel Aragones had already done the work,
patch found at http://www.terra.es/personal2/danarag/Unfortunaly, looking at the patch was painful to my eyes, so I polished it
a bit before applying. The resulting kernel boots, and reads the
filesystem it needed to read.Signed-off-by: Daniel Aragones

Jeffrey Altman, one of the gatekeepers of OpenAFS (the open source project
which inherited the Transarc/IBM AFS codebase) has requested that the magic
number 0x5346414F (little endian 'OAFS') be allocated for the f_type field
of the fsinfo structure on Linux:https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html
Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number
and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.Cc: Jeffrey Altman
