Now that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c and
into fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow us
to enable the efivarfs code without having to also enable
CONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa.

Furthermore, things like,

    mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

will now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring the
use of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when the
efivarfs code was part of efivars.c.

Given that CUSE depends on FUSE, it only makes sense to move its
Kconfig entry into the FUSE Kconfig file.  Also, add a few grammatical
and semantic touchups.

Pull new F2FS filesystem from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "Introduce a new file system, Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS), to
  Linux 3.8.

  Highlights:
   - Add initial f2fs source codes
   - Fix an endian conversion bug
   - Fix build failures on random configs
   - Fix the power-off-recovery routine
   - Minor cleanup, coding style, and typos patches"

From the Kconfig help text:

  F2FS is based on Log-structured File System (LFS), which supports
  versatile "flash-friendly" features. The design has been focused on
  addressing the fundamental issues in LFS, which are snowball effect
  of wandering tree and high cleaning overhead.

  Since flash-based storages show different characteristics according to
  the internal geometry or flash memory management schemes aka FTL, F2FS
  and tools support various parameters not only for configuring on-disk
  layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms.

and there's an article by Neil Brown about it on lwn.net:

<title>ext4: Remove CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR</title>

Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan
confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their
product.  David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all
Android kernels that use ext4."  So it seems OK for us.

And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr,
and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while
xattr disabled.  So I think we should add inline data and remove this
config option in the same release.

[ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which
  isn't much in the grand scheme of things.  Since no one seems to be
  testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on
  balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is
  effectively always enabled. -- tytso ]

Adds support for qnx6fs readonly support to the linux kernel.

* Mount option
  The option mmi_fs can be used to mount Harman Becker/Audi MMI 3G
  HDD qnx6fs filesystems.

* Documentation
  A high level filesystem stucture description can be found in the
  Documentation/filesystems directory. (qnx6.txt)

* Additional features
  - Active (stable) superblock selection
  - Superblock checksum check (enforced)
  - Supports mount of qnx6 filesystems with to host different endianess
  - Automatic endianess detection
  - Longfilename support (with non-enfocing crc check)
  - All blocksizes (512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 supported)

Ok, this is hacky, and only works on little-endian machines with goo
unaligned handling.  And even then only with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
disabled, since it can access up to 7 bytes after the pathname.

But it runs like a bat out of hell.

As Reported by Randy Dunlap

When MISC_FILESYSTEMS is not enabled and NFS4.1 is:

fs/built-in.o: In function `objio_alloc_io_state':
objio_osd.c:(.text+0xcb525): undefined reference to `ore_get_rw_state'
fs/built-in.o: In function `_write_done':
objio_osd.c:(.text+0xcb58d): undefined reference to `ore_check_io'
fs/built-in.o: In function `_read_done':
...

When MISC_FILESYSTEMS, which is more of a GUI thing then anything else,
is not selected. exofs/Kconfig is never examined during Kconfig,
and it can not do it's magic stuff to automatically select everything
needed.

We must split exofs/Kconfig in two. The ore one is always included.
And the exofs one is left in it's old place in the menu.
