Commit 8e3dffc651 "Ext2: mark inode dirty after the function
dquot_free_block_nodirty is called" unveiled a bug in __ext2_get_block()
called from ext2_get_xip_mem(). That function called ext2_get_block()
mistakenly asking it to map 0 blocks while 1 was intended. Before the
above mentioned commit things worked out fine by luck but after that commit
we started returning that we allocated 0 blocks while we in fact
allocated 1 block and thus allocation was looping until all blocks in
the filesystem were exhausted.
Fix the problem by properly asking for one block and also add assertion
in ext2_get_blocks() to catch similar problems.

Convert XIP to support non-struct page backed memory, using VM_MIXEDMAP for
the user mappings.
This requires the get_xip_page API to be changed to an address based one.
Improve the API layering a little bit too, while we're here.
This is required in order to support XIP filesystems on memory that isn't
backed with struct page (but memory with struct page is still supported too).

Alter the block device ->direct_access() API to work with the new
get_xip_mem() API (that requires both kaddr and pfn are returned).
Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page() for use
by XIP (to translate from the kernel virtual address returned by
direct_access(), to a user mappable pfn in XIP's page fault handler.
However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr, because
we have no good way to get a kva from a pfn, and XIP requires the kva for its
read(2) and write(2) handlers. So we have to return both.

Oliver Paukstadt from our test department is testing the xip patches in
Linus' git-tree. He found a problem that shows when reading a file that
contains sparse blocks (holes) on a -o xip mounted ext2 filesystem: the
BUG_ON() in fs/ext2/xip.c:40 triggers where it should not. The problem was
introduced by a cleanup in my previous patch, this patch fixes it.

This patch includes feedback from Andrew and Christoph. Thanks for
taking time to review.
Use of empty_zero_page was eliminated to fix compilation for architectures
that don't have it.
This patch removes setting pages up-to-date in ext2_get_xip_page and all
bug checks to verify that the page is indeed up to date. Setting the page
state on mapping to userland is bogus. None of the code patchs involved
with these pages in mm cares about the page state.
still on my ToDo list: identify a place outside second extended where
__inode_direct_access should reside

These are the ext2 related parts. Ext2 now uses the xip_* file operations
along with the get_xip_page aop when mounted with -o xip.
