Matt LaPlante 01dd2fbf0d typo fixes
Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.

Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
Kconfigs and documentation texts.

Eric Van Hensbergen 982c37cfb6 9p: remove sysctl
A sysctl method was added to enable and disable debugging levels.  After
further review, it was decided that there are better approaches to doing this
and the sysctl methodology isn't really desirable.  This patch removes the
sysctl code from 9p.

Eric Van Hensbergen fb0466c3ae 9p: fix bad kconfig cross-dependency
This patch moves transport dynamic registration and matching to the net
module to prevent a bad Kconfig dependency between the net and fs 9p modules.

Latchesar Ionkov ba17674fe0 9p: attach-per-user
The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be
done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file
server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately.
Multiple users can share the same connection to the server.

Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a
single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it
depends on the client doing the permission checking.

This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach
separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option
'access'):

- attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u)
 If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs
 sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If
 the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree.
 As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works
 only with the 9P2000.u dialect.

- allow only one user to access the tree (access=<uid>)
 Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt
 to access it will get EPERM error.

- do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000)
 V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user.
 If this mode is selected, the v9fs behavior is identical with the current
 one.

Eric Van Hensbergen a80d923e13 9p: Make transports dynamic
This patch abstracts out the interfaces to underlying transports so that
new transports can be added as modules.  This should also allow kernel
configuration of transports without ifdef-hell.

Also spotted was a leak of the same structure further down in the function.

Eric W. Biederman b053c204ed 9p: Don't use binary sysctl numbers.
The recent 9p commit: bd238fb431 that
supposedly only moved files also introduced a new 9p sysctl interface
that did not properly register it's sysctl binary numbers.

And since it was only for debugging clearly did not need a binary fast
path in any case.  So this patch just remove the binary numbers.

See Documentation/sysctl/ctl_unnumbered.txt for more details.

While I was at it I cleaned up the sysctl initializers a little as
well so there is less to read.

Latchesar Ionkov bd238fb431 9p: Reorganization of 9p file system code
This patchset moves non-filesystem interfaces of v9fs from fs/9p to net/9p.
It moves the transport, packet marshalling and connection layers to net/9p
leaving only the VFS related files in fs/9p.  This work is being done in
preparation for in-kernel 9p servers as well as alternate 9p clients (other
than VFS).
