linux-next: manual merge of the cleancache tree with Linus' tree

[Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>]

Hi Dan,

Today's linux-next merge of the cleancache tree got a conflict in
mm/Kconfig between various transparent huge page commits from Linus' tree
and commit 83137a5649ec8a0bb769c68024b0532733087482 ("mm: cleancache core
ops functions and config") from the cleancache tree.

Just context changes.  I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as
necessary.

+ 	help
+ 	  Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
+ 	  for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
+ 	  (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
+ 	  memory.  So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to put
+ 	  it into a synchronous concurrency-safe page-oriented pseudo-RAM
+ 	  device (such as Xen's Transcendent Memory, aka "tmem") which is not
+ 	  directly accessible or addressable by the kernel and is of unknown
+ 	  (and possibly time-varying) size.  And when a cleancache-enabled
+ 	  filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
+ 	  checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
+ 	  the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
+ 	  When a pseudo-RAM device is available, a significant I/O reduction
+ 	  may be achieved.  When none is available, all cleancache calls
+ 	  are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
+ 	  in a negligible performance hit.
