It's an internal implementation detail which we _should_ be free to change.
So we did, and it promptly broke.
The compiler shold be able to work out when to use the __constant version
anyway.

This patch contains a set of cosmetic changes to TIPC's network
topology service subsystem, including:
- updates to comments (including copyright dates)
- re-ordering structure fields to group them more logically
- removal of optional debugging code that is no longer required
- minor changes to whitespace to conform to Linux coding conventions

This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it
only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber
connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the
reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber
act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since
the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa,
this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.) This
consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50%
in the default configuration.

This patch fixes TIPC's topology server so that it does byte swapping
correctly when endianness conversion is required. (Note: This bug only
impacted an application if it issues a subscription request to a
topology server on another node, rather than the server on it's own
node; since the topology server is normally not accessible by off-node
applications, most TIPC applications were not impacted by the bug.)

This patch enables TIPC's topology server code to do customized
endianness conversions on a per-subscription basis. (This
capability is needed to support the upcoming consolidation of
subscriber and subscription object references.)

This patch eliminates the (very remote) chance of a crash resulting
from a partially initialized socket or native port unexpectedly
receiving a message. Now, during the creation of a socket or native
port, the underlying generic port's lock is not released until all
initialization required to handle incoming messages has been done.

This patch allows a TIPC application to cancel an existing
topology service subscription by re-requesting the subscription
with the TIPC_SUB_CANCEL filter bit set. (All other bits of
the cancel request must match the original subscription request.)

locking init cleanups:
- convert " = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED" to spin_lock_init() or DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
- convert rwlocks in a similar manner
this patch was generated automatically.
Motivation:
- cleanliness
- lockdep needs control of lock initialization, which the open-coded
variants do not give
- it's also useful for -rt and for lock debugging in general

With reference to latest discussions on linux-kernel with respect to
inline here is a patch for tipc to remove all inlines as used in
the .c files. See also chapter 14 in Documentation/CodingStyle.
Before:
text data bss dec hex filename
102990 5292 1752 110034 1add2 tipc.o
Now:
text data bss dec hex filename
101190 5292 1752 108234 1a6ca tipc.o
This is a nice text size reduction which will improve icache usage.
In some cases bigger (> 4 lines) functions where declared inline
and used in many places, they are most probarly no longer inlined by gcc
resulting in the size reduction.
There are several one liners that no longer are declared inline, but gcc
should inline these just fine without the inline hint.
With this patch applied one warning is added about an unused static
function - that was hidded by utilising inline before.
The function in question were kept so this patch is solely a
inline removal patch.

Tried to run the new tipc stack through sparse.
Following patch fixes all cases where 0 was used
as replacement of NULL.
Use NULL to document this is a pointer and to silence sparse.
