This changes *all* instances of struct file_operations in the kernel to have a .llseek operation and then changes the default to no_llseek, which returns -ESPIPE, which is what we had decided some time ago in a discussion with Christoph Hellwig.
I don't suppose there's any clean way to throw a build error or a printk_on_once() or something if we encounter an unconverted 'struct file_operations', is there? I have this creeping fear that this patch will go upstream during the merge window - as will 12 new staging/ drivers from authors who didn't get the memo yet.
Other than the "missed converting a new usage" issue, it looks OK to me.
