Documentation/ is a little large, and filesystems/ seems an obvious

Shouldn't this mandatory-locking documentation be in the
Documentation/filesystems directory?
Give it a more descriptive name while we're at it, and update 00-INDEX
with a more inclusive description of Documentation/filesystems (which
has already talked about more than just individual filesystems).

While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable
store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher
performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over
two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
to improve metadata operational performance.

This file, ext4.txt, was put together with information from Andrew Morton,
Andreas Dilger, Suparna Bhattacharya, and Ted Ts'o.
I copied the mount options, with the exception of "extents", from ext3.txt,
so if anyone is aware of anything out-of-date, please let me know.

Now that devfs is removed, there's no longer any need to document how to
do this or that with devfs.
This patch includes some improvements by Joe Perches.

Here's updated documentation for the relay interface, rewritten to match
the relayfs->relay changes. It also moves relayfs.txt to relay.txt in the
process.
It includes the changes to relayfs.txt previously posted by Randy Dunlap,
thanks for those.
The relay-apps examples have also been updated to match, and can be found
on the sourceforge relayfs website.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
