Subject: [GIT] Credentials API wrappers for 2.6.27

The patch below from David Howells adds wrappers for the new credentials 
wrappers without utilizing them (except for XFS per below), so that 
subsystems may be converted over to the new API in smaller pieces.

This approach was suggested by Stephen here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121843301206340&w=2

Some changes were made to the XFS code to eliminate namespace collisions, 
and these have been updated according to feedback from Christoph (who has 
also since ok'd them to me personally).

Please pull.
