[PATCH 00/10] autofs4 - rename autofs4 to autofs

[Ian Kent]

The autofs4 kernel module provides function for autofs version 3, 4 and
5 and autofs module has long since been removed. Now we're left with a
misnamed module. Appart from the name another problem this presents is
that module autoload doesn't work because of the mismatch of the directory
name and the name of the file system provided by the module.

So autofs4 should be renamed to autofs but I've held back doing it because
of the potential disruption that could occur with a change like this.

The issues are somewhat reduced now because systemd needs the autofs
module at startup, and because of the autoload issue it's easier to just
compile the module into the kernel, which is what is often done.

Changes since the last posting of the series:
- removed the patches that updated the configs to use  CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS
  instead of CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS, as recommended by Stephen Rothwell.
- Broke up large patches to meet list post size requirements.

By leaving a Kconfig and Makefile in fs/autofs4 (to build autofs4.ko)
with a deprication message sub-system maintainers and other users will
make any needed changes before these are removed after two kernel versions.
IMHO the presence of the warning is reason enough to leave a build stub
rather than do a straight out rename.

Any comments on the rename are welcome.
