1) Ensure mutex_init() never fails in the case of ENOMEM by retrying
forever. I don't think I've ever seen this happen but it was clear
after code inspection that if it did we would immediately crash.
2) Enable full debugging in check.sh for sanity tests. Might as well
get as much debug as we can in the case of a failure.
3) Reworked list of kmem caches tracked by SPL in to a hash with the
key based on the address of the kmem_cache_t. This should speed
up the constructor/destructor/shrinker lookup needed now for newer
kernel which removed the destructor support.
4) Updated kmem_cache_create to handle the case where CONFIG_SLUB
is defined. The slub would occasionally merge slab caches which
resulted in non-unique keys for our hash lookup in 3). To fix this
we detect if the slub is enabled and then set the needed flag
to prevent this merging from ever occuring.
5) New kernels removed the proc_dir_entry pointer from items
registered by sysctl. This means we can no long be sneaky and
manually insert things in to the sysctl tree simply by walking
the proc tree. So I'm forced to create a seperate tree for
all the things I can't easily support via sysctl interface.
I don't like it but it will do for now.

working on this branch for the next few days I suggested you work
off of the 0.3.1 tag. The following changes are fairly extensive
and are designed to make the SPL compatible with all kernels in
the range of 2.6.18-2.6.25. There were 13 relevant API changes
between these releases and I have added the needed autoconf tests
to check for them. However, this has not all been tested extensively.
I'll sort of the breakage on Fedora Core 9 and RHEL5 this week.

not to support a few flags (we assert if they are used), and I
did not add the libkstat interface and instead exported everything
to proc for easy access.

changes bring over everything lustre had for debugging with
two exceptions. I dropped by the debug daemon and upcalls
just because it made things a little easier. They can be
readded easily enough if we feel they are needed.
Everything compiles and seems to work on first inspection
but I suspect there are a handful of issues still lingering
which I'll be sorting out right away. I just wanted to get
all these changes commited and safe. I'm getting a little
paranoid about losing them.
