It looks like an attempt to use CPU notifier here which was never
completed. Nobody tried to wire it up completely since 2k9. So I unwind
this code and get rid of everything not required. Oh look! 19 lines were
removed while code still does the same thing.

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.

We presently define all kinds of notifiers in notifier.h.  This is not
necessary at all, since different subsystems use different notifiers, they
are almost non-related with each other.

This can also save much build time.  Suppose I add a new netdevice event,
really I don't have to recompile all the source, just network related.
Without this patch, all the source will be recompiled.

I move the notify events near to their subsystem notifier registers, so
that they can be found more easily.

This patch:

It is not necessary to share the same notifier.h.

<title>De-pessimize rds_page_copy_user</title>

Don't try to "optimize" rds_page_copy_user() by using kmap_atomic() and
the unsafe atomic user mode accessor functions.  It's actually slower
than the straightforward code on any reasonable modern CPU.

Back when the code was written (although probably not by the time it was
actually merged, though), 32-bit x86 may have been the dominant
architecture.  And there kmap_atomic() can be a lot faster than kmap()
(unless you have very good locality, in which case the virtual address
caching by kmap() can overcome all the downsides).

But these days, x86-64 may not be more populous, but it's getting there
(and if you care about performance, it's definitely already there -
you'd have upgraded your CPU's already in the last few years).  And on
x86-64, the non-kmap_atomic() version is faster, simply because the code
is simpler and doesn't have the "re-try page fault" case.

People with old hardware are not likely to care about RDS anyway, and
the optimization for the 32-bit case is simply buggy, since it doesn't
verify the user addresses properly.
