Linux 3.14

A nice side effect of this, is we introduce UBI Fastmap support
to U-Boot.

UBIFS: add R/O compatibility

Now UBIFS is supported by u-boot. If we ever decide to change the
media format, then people will have to upgrade their u-boots to
mount new format images. However, very often it is possible to
preserve R/O forward-compatibility, even though the write
forward-compatibility is not preserved.

This patch introduces a new super-block field which stores the
R/O compatibility version.

UBIFS: Implement read-only UBIFS support in U-Boot

The U-Boot UBIFS implementation is largely a direct copy from the current
Linux version (2.6.29-rc6). As already done in the UBI version we have an
"abstraction layer" to redefine or remove some OS calls (e.g. mutex_lock()
...). This makes it possible to use the original Linux code with very
little changes. And by this we can better update to later Linux versions.

I removed some of the Linux features that are not used in the U-Boot
version (e.g. garbage-collection, write support).
