    This patchset is an early draft of checkpoint/restart of file-locks/leases.
    
    This patchset applies on top of the ckpt-v21-rc7 branch of the Checkpoint/
    restart git tree (see http://ckpt.wiki.kernel.org for details).
    
    To checkpoint/restart file-locks and leases we find each lock/lease held
    by each fd of the process and save the information about the lock/lease
    in the checkpoint-image. When restarting, each process reacquires the
    locks it held at checkpoint. When all processes have acquired the locks
    one-by-one, the entire process tree is allowed to execute. Any processes
    blocked on a lock at the time of checkpoint, restart their system call
    and end up blocking on the lock again after the restart.
    
    Checkpoint/restart of file-leases, specially the leases that are being
    revoked appear to be more tricky - Patch 6/6 has the details.
    
    	[PATCH  1/6] Move file_lock macros into linux/fs.h
    	[PATCH  2/6] Checkpoint file-locks
    	[PATCH  3/6] Define flock_set()
    	[PATCH  4/6] Restore file-locks
    	[PATCH  5/6] Define do_setlease()
    	[PATCH  6/6] Checkpoint/restart file leases
    
    This patchset has been gently tested with a few C/R testcases and needs
    more testing. Pls let me know your comments or if there are semantics that
    might change. Patch 6 identifies a couple of semantics for leases and
    suggests a way to preserve them. But maybe there is a cleaner/easier way
    to do so.
    
    Note:
    	For consistency with current uses of for_each_lock(), this patchset
    	uses lock_kernel(), but not sure yet if it is required.
