SubjectRe: [CFT] rename patch + FAT stuff

New version of FAT patch is out there.

News:
Aliases done. Now it passes the whole Gordon's testsuite except
one of the internationalization tests.
change of ->lookup() type (binary compatible, see the
corresponding thread on linux-fsdevel) done.

TODO:
UMSDOS integration.
fat_get_entry() optimization (*badly* needed, since it's used more
active than in the vanilla kernel).
fat_readdir_x() cleanup (related to previous).
internationalization stuff.

I consider that as early beta. You are warned - it seems to be
OK, but it needs testing. It still doesn't work with UMSDOS and is not too
kind wrt NFS exporting. Warning: MSDOS part got less testing than VFAT.
I.e. may be less stable.

Patch lives on:
ftp.math.psu.edu/pub/viro/fat-patch-9.gz (incremental over rename-11)
ftp.math.psu.edu/pub/viro/rename+fat-patch-9.gz (combined).

No changes in rename patch (submitted to Linus).

Cheers,
Al
