For the ranges with IORESOURCE_PREFETCH, export a new resource_wc interface in
pci /sysfs along with resource (which is uncached).

<title>ext4: enable barriers by default</title>

I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when
they are available;  I believe this is necessary for filesystem
integrity in the face of a volatile write cache on storage.

An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery-
backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...)
can always turn it back off again.

SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now.

Also document the mount option while we're at it.

And with that last patch to affs killing the last put_inode instance we
can finally, after many years of transition kill this racy and awkward
interface.

(It's kinda funny that even the description in
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt was entirely wrong..)

Also remove a very misleading comment above the defintion of
struct super_operations.

Normally utime(2) checks current process is owner of the file, or it
has CAP_FOWNER capability.  But FAT filesystem doesn't have uid/gid as
on disk info, so normal check is too unflexible.

With this option you can relax it.
