Hi all,

fifth round for the patch series. I summarize here the changes to
improve the review:

v5:
- removed the changelog from documentation file
- added the function pram_check_flags in the file operations
- added a check when the user uses XIP and the blocksize is different
from page size
- added i_meta_mutex to avoid race conditions in the inode update
path
- changed the lock policy during mem{lock|unlock} operations
- replaced bitmap_set with bitmap_fill

nouser_xattr as required by Paul Maundt
- inserted pr_fmt in pram.h
- inserted macros IF2DT and DT2IF
- removed file name description from each file
