[PATCH] BLOCK: Move functions out of buffer code [try #6]
Move some functions out of the buffering code that aren't strictly buffering
specific. This is a precursor to being able to disable the block layer.
(*) Moved some stuff out of fs/buffer.c:
(*) The file sync and general sync stuff moved to fs/sync.c.
(*) The superblock sync stuff moved to fs/super.c.
(*) do_invalidatepage() moved to mm/truncate.c.
(*) try_to_release_page() moved to mm/filemap.c.
(*) Moved some related declarations between header files:
(*) declarations for do_invalidatepage() and try_to_release_page() moved
to linux/mm.h.
(*) __set_page_dirty_buffers() moved to linux/buffer_head.h.
