Linux-2.6.12-rc2

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!

+ *
+ * You should not need to call this function directly.  Use ntfs_attr_lookup()
+ * instead.
+ *
+ * ntfs_attr_find() takes a search context @ctx as parameter and searches the
+ * mft record specified by @ctx->mrec, beginning at @ctx->attr, for an
+ * attribute of @type, optionally @name and @val.
+ *
+ * If the attribute is found, ntfs_attr_find() returns 0 and @ctx->attr will
+ * point to the found attribute.
+ *
+ * If the attribute is not found, ntfs_attr_find() returns -ENOENT and
+ * @ctx->attr will point to the attribute before which the attribute being
+ * searched for would need to be inserted if such an action were to be desired.
+ *
+ * On actual error, ntfs_attr_find() returns -EIO.  In this case @ctx->attr is
+ * undefined and in particular do not rely on it not changing.
+ *
+ * If @ctx->is_first is TRUE, the search begins with @ctx->attr itself.  If it
+ * is FALSE, the search begins after @ctx->attr.
+ *
+ * If @ic is IGNORE_CASE, the @name comparisson is not case sensitive and
+ * @ctx->ntfs_ino must be set to the ntfs inode to which the mft record
+ * @ctx->mrec belongs.  This is so we can get at the ntfs volume and hence at
+ * the upcase table.  If @ic is CASE_SENSITIVE, the comparison is case
+ * sensitive.  When @name is present, @name_len is the @name length in Unicode
+ * characters.
+ *
+ * If @name is not present (NULL), we assume that the unnamed attribute is
+ * being searched for.
+ *
+ * Finally, the resident attribute value @val is looked for, if present.  If
+ * @val is not present (NULL), @val_len is ignored.
+ *
+ * ntfs_attr_find() only searches the specified mft record and it ignores the
+ * presence of an attribute list attribute (unless it is the one being searched
+ * for, obviously).  If you need to take attribute lists into consideration,
+ * use ntfs_attr_lookup() instead (see below).  This also means that you cannot
+ * use ntfs_attr_find() to search for extent records of non-resident
+ * attributes, as extents with lowest_vcn != 0 are usually described by the
+ * attribute list attribute only. - Note that it is possible that the first
+ * extent is only in the attribute list while the last extent is in the base
+ * mft record, so do not rely on being able to find the first extent in the
+ * base mft record.
+ *
+ * Warning: Never use @val when looking for attribute types which can be
+ *	    non-resident as this most likely will result in a crash!

+ * Find an attribute by searching the attribute list for the corresponding

+ * attribute is in a different mft record/inode, ntfs_attr_find() the attribute
+ * in there and return it.
+ *
+ * On first search @ctx->ntfs_ino must be the base mft record and @ctx must

+ * calls @ctx->ntfs_ino can be any extent inode, too (@ctx->base_ntfs_ino is
+ * then the base inode).
+ *
+ * After finishing with the attribute/mft record you need to call
+ * ntfs_attr_put_search_ctx() to cleanup the search context (unmapping any
+ * mapped inodes, etc).
+ *
+ * If the attribute is found, ntfs_external_attr_find() returns 0 and
