Subject: [PATCH 0/6] cleanup libcfs memory handling

The libcfs module contains memory handling which needs to be
cleaned up. First cleanup is to merge linux-mem.h and libcfs_prim.h.
This is left over for when libcfs was both a kernel module
and a userspace library. Second cleanup is remove some wrappers
that are not needed. Just use kernel API's directly instead.
One last change is the move of add_wait_queue_exclusive_head
to the lustre layer since that is the only place it is used.
With these changes linux-mem.h can be deleted.

James Simmons (6):
  staging: lustre: libcfs: move add_wait_queue_exclusive_head to lustre layer
  staging: lustre: libcfs: move memory_pressure functions to libcfs_prim.h
  staging: lustre: libcfs: remove page_index() macro
  staging: lustre: libcfs: remove MMSPACE macros
  staging: lustre: libcfs: move NUM_CACHEPAGES to libcfs_prim.h
  staging: lustre: libcfs: delete linux-mem.h
