Hi Al,

I noticed that read/write/rdwr_pipe_fops are (1) const and
(2) exactly identical to xxx_fifo_fops, which are also const.

Attached patch #defines xxx_pipe_fops as aliases to xxx_fifo_fops.
Size difference:

# size linux-2.6.25-rc6*/*/pipe.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   6534     144       0    6678    1a16 linux-2.6.25-rc6/fs/pipe.o
   5862     144       0    6006    1776 linux-2.6.25-rc6-pt/fs/pipe.o
