    libxfs: provide extern include file
    
    There will be different include files for userspace and
    kernel versions of the library as userspace needs to stub out or
    provide it's own versions of kernel only functionality. The header
    file that external libxfs users will need to include is libxfs.h,
    and there will be different implementations for both user and kernel
    space.
    
    All external users of libxfs will include this header file, thereby
    eliminating the need for direct knowledge of the internal dependency
    structure of the libxfs code. This significantly reduces the
    complexity of including libxfs functioanlity into the kernel code,
    and brings it in line with the way libxfs is used in userspace.
    
    This also allows us to untangle some of the mess with kernel only
    header files including shared header files directly, but does come
    with one piece of baggage - the dependency that libxfs has on the
    kernel xfs_mount.h. We'll deal with that at a later time, though.

    libxfs: consolidate internal include files
    
    There will be different include files for userspace and
    kernel versions of the library as userspace needs to stub out or
    provide it's own versions of kernel only functionality, convert all
    the internal libxfs source code to use the same single header file
    infrastructure that userspace currently contains. This means all the
    C source files will be identical, and only the header file will need
    to change. Call this internal consolidated header file libxfs_int.h
    to discriminate it from any other kernel or userspace header file.

    libxfs: move source files
    
    Move all the source files that are shared with userspace into
    libxfs/include. This is done as one big chunk simpy to get it done
    quickly.

    xfs: create libxfs infrastructure
    
    TO minimise the differences between kernel and userspace code,
    split the kernel code into the same structure as the userspace code.
    That is, the gneric core functionality of XFS is moved to a libxfs/
    directory and treat it as a layering barrier in the XFS code.
    
    This patch introduces the libxfs and libxfs/include directories,
    the build infrastructure and an initial source and header file to
    build. The libxfs/include directory will contain the header files
    that are needed to build libxfs - most of userspace does not care
    about the location of these header files as they are accessed
    indirectly. Hence keeping them inside libxfs makes it easy to track
    the changes and script the sync process as the directory structure
    will be identical.
    
    TO allow this changeover to occur in the kernel code, there are some
    temporary infrastructure in the makefiles to grab the header
    filesystem from both locations. Once all the files are moved,
    modifications will be made in the source code that will make the
    need for these include directives go away.
