This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.
This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm
since then.

This reverts commit f9247273cb69ba101877e946d2d83044409cc8c5 (and
fb2e405fc1fc8b20d9c78eaa1c7fd5a297efde43 - "fix fs/nfs/nfsroot.c
compilation" - that fixed a missed conversion).
The changes cause problems for at least the sparc build. Let's re-do
them when the exact issues are resolved.

This patch adds a "const" to the parser token table. I've done an
allmodconfig build to see if this produces any warnings/failures and the
patch includes a fix for the only warning that was produced.

more robust
match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.
There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.
The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().
The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.
We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.
Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

CC fs/nfs/nfsroot.o
fs/nfs/nfsroot.c:131: error: tokens causes a section type conflict
make[2]: *** [fs/nfs/nfsroot.o] Error 1
This is due to mixing const and non-const content in the same section
which halfway recent gccs absolutely hate. Fixed by dropping the const.

Make the match_*() functions take a const pointer to the options table
and make strings pointers in the options table const too.

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!
