Subject: [RFC][PATCH] track files for checkpointability

This takes a suggestion of Ingo's along with comments from lots of
other people.  It can track whether a given file is able to be
checkpointed.  It has sane default assumptions for new filesystems
and introduces a f_op to allow easy overriding of behavior just
like the reset of the VFS.

You can also find these patches in git:
