Allow the buffer cache to target in-memory files by making it possible to have a buftarg that maps pages from private shmem files. As the prevous patch alludes, the in-memory buftarg contains its own cache, points to a shmem file, and does not point to a block_device. The next few patches will make it possible to construct an xfs_btree in pageable memory by using this buftarg. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
