a08e37f31a fcntl: Use consistent values for F_[GS]ETOWN_EX
These values were only introduced during this release cycle, so it is
still early enough to get them right.

alpha uses the same values that are in asm-generic/fcntl.h, so just
remove them.

parisc uses the values interchanged for no apparent reason, so remove
them to give us consistency across all architectures.

        fcntl: add F_[SG]ETOWN_EX

In asm-generic/fcntl.h, F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETLK64 both have value 12, and
F_GETOWN_EX and F_SETLK64 both have value 13.

ba0a6c9f6f fcntl: add F_[SG]ETOWN_EX
In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a
multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a
TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call.  It will still be send to the
whole process of which that thread is part.

Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX.

The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with
perf-counters.  Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is
available.  If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the
new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space
state right after it returns from the kernel.  This is esp.  convenient
for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments.

Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex
as argument:

struct f_owner_ex {
	int   type;
	pid_t pid;
};

Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

024b246ed2 alpha: move include/asm-alpha to arch/alpha/include/asm
Sam Ravnborg did the build-test that the direct header file move works,
I'm just committing it.

This is a pure move:

	mkdir arch/alpha/include
	git mv include/asm-alpha arch/alpha/include/asm

with no other changes.
