[PATCH -mm] fault-injection:reject-failure-if-any-caller-lies-within-specified range

[Don Mullis]

/debug/fail_make_request can force a failure like the following:

	 =======================
	Buffer I/O error on device hda2, logical block 5782
	lost page write due to I/O error on hda2
	Aborting journal on device hda2.
	journal commit I/O error
	ext3_abort called.
	EXT3-fs error (device hda2): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal
	Remounting filesystem read-only

The above read-only remount effectively ends the test run.  

With the patch applied, any (single) case such as the above can be
excluded like so:

	cd /debug/fail_make_request/
	
	awk '/kjournald/{print "0x" $1}' /boot/System.map-2.6.19* >reject-start
	awk '/kjournald/{getline; print "0x" $1}' /boot/System.map-2.6.19* >reject-end
	
	echo -1 >times
	echo 9 >verbose
	echo 1 >probability
	echo 1 >/sys/block/hda/hda2/make-it-fail

Implementation approach is to extend the existing
address-start/address-end mechanism specifying a range _required_ to
be found on the stack, by the addition of an address range to be
_rejected_.  

address-start/address-end have been renamed to place them in the new
context.
