0) Documentation.

These three patches can probably just be flattened into one.
Splitting out the first two doesn't add to the clarity of the
series - add the structures in the patch that actually uses them
so we don't ahve to jump between patches to see how they are used.

So, 9 new files for tracking all of this? I'm not sure that so
many new files are needed - putting it all in fs/hot_tracking.[ch]
might make more sense, or if all 8 fs/hot* files remain, putting
them in their own subdirectory might be an idea (like quota).

I'll comment on the code when I get a bit of time to look at it.

Cheers,

Dave.
