Documentation mistakenly refers to a different type while explaining
the contents of the struct CodaCred.
Fix the typo in the struct CodaCred description in the documentation.

We exchange file timestamps with user space using psdev device
read/write operations with a fixed but architecture specific binary
layout.
On 32-bit systems, this uses a 'timespec' structure that is defined by
the C library to contain two 32-bit values for seconds and nanoseconds.
As we get ready for the year 2038 overflow of the 32-bit signed seconds,
the kernel now uses 64-bit timestamps internally, and user space will do
the same change by changing the 'timespec' definition in the future.
Unfortunately, this breaks the layout of the coda_vattr structure, so we
need to redefine that in terms of something that does not change. I'm
introducing a new 'struct vtimespec' structure here that keeps the
existing layout, and the same change has to be done in the coda user
space copy of linux/coda.h before anyone can use that on a 32-bit
architecture with 64-bit time_t.
An open question is what should happen to actual times past y2038, as
they are now truncated to the last valid date when sent to user space,
and interpreted as pre-1970 times when a timestamp with the MSB set is
read back into the kernel. Alternatively, we could change the new
timespec64_to_coda()/coda_to_timespec64() functions to use a different
interpretation and extend the available range further to the future by
disallowing past timestamps. This would require more changes in the
user space side though.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
