Clean up: refresh the help text for Kconfig items related to the NFS
client. Remove obsolete URLs, and make the language consistent among
the options.
Also move the ROOT_NFS config option next to the options related to the
NFS client.

Revert commit 44dd151d "NFS: Don't mark a written page as uptodate until it
is on disk". While it is true that the write may fail, that is always the
case. There is no reason why we should treat data on pages that are not
already marked as PG_uptodate as being special. The only thing we gain is a
noticeable slowdown when re-reading these pages.

If a file is being extended, and we're creating a hole, we might as well
declare the entire page to be up to date.
This patch significantly improves the write performance for sparse files
in the case where lseek(SEEK_END) is used to append several non-contiguous
writes at intervals of < PAGE_SIZE.

The special 'ENOMEM' case that was previously flagged as non-fatal is
bogus: auth_gss always returns EAGAIN for non-fatal errors, and may in fact
return ENOMEM in the special case where xdr_buf_read_netobj runs out of
preallocated buffer space (invariably a _fatal_ error, since there is no
provision for preallocating larger buffers).

NFSv2 file locking currently fails the Connectathon tests, because the
calls to the VFS locking code do not return an EINVAL error if the
struct file_lock overflows the 32-bit boundaries.
The problem is due to the fact that we occasionally call helpers from
fs/locks.c in order to avoid RPC calls to the server when we know that a
local process holds the lock. These helpers are, of course, always
64-bit enabled, so EINVAL is not returned in cases when it would if
the call had gone to the NLM code.
For consistency, we therefore add support for a bounds-checking helper.

The commit 2785259631 (nfs: use GFP_NOFS

We only want to call radix_tree_preload() once after creating a request.
Calling it every time we loop after we created the request, will cause
preemption count leaks.

So far subsys_initcalls has been executed in this order depending on

The problems are that, with the ACPI vs timer overring issue _fixed_,
after using the box for some time (between several seconds and 1 hour, at
random) processes get very high CPU loads (once I've got X using 107% of
the CPU, for example) and the system becomes unresponsive, as though there
were interrupts lost or something similar.

So lets fall back to the IRQ0/INT0 configuration on this box.
